The image shows the upper half of a woman's body in profile. Her face is turned to the right with her gaze directed forward. She has prominent facial features, a defined nose, and lips. Her hair is styled in tight curls with a headband, neatly arranged around her head. She is wearing a dress with draped and gathered fabric covering her shoulders, and earrings. The background is a dark circular shadow against a lighter tone. In the bottom left corner, there is an artist's signature "ST. M. delt & sc." and handwritten text below it reads "Mrs. Gilmore wife."
