The image shows the upper half of a woman's body in profile, facing left. Her facial features include a defined nose and a closed mouth. She has an elaborate hairstyle with large curls and waves arranged high on her head. She wears a high-collared garment with ruffles around the neckline. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a simple dark circle contrasting with the lighter portrait, creating an oval vignette effect. The inscription below the portrait reads "Mrs. Sargent."
