Edith Martineau

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated with her arms resting on a ledge in front of her. She has dark hair styled up, adorned with a gold headband, and a white draped garment around her shoulders. Her facial features include a gentle expression with soft eyes and full lips. She holds a branch with leaves and berries in her right hand. The background shows a relief of classical figures in a frieze-like design.
