The image shows a portrait of a woman in profile. She is seated or posed sideways facing left, with her neck slightly turned. Her facial features are delicately drawn with a refined profile. Her hair is styled in a tidy, classical fashion with shoulder-length locks. She is dressed in a high-collared top with ruffled details along the neckline and a bow at her chin. She wears a double strand of beads or pearls around her neck. The background is a dark circle, with visible text at the bottom identifying the person as "Mrs. David Randolph Meade." The artwork appears to be an etching or engraving.
