National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head and shoulders portrait of a woman in profile, facing to the left. Her head is turned slightly to the side, showcasing her profile. She has refined facial features with a straight, defined nose and a sharp chin. Her hair is styled up in an elegant bun with curls cascading around her forehead and ears. She is dressed in a garment with a ruffled neckline and detailed embroidery along the edges, featuring pleats and a bow tied at the shoulder. The portrait is set within a circular frame against a dark background with no distinct elements visible. The name "Mrs. Herrion" and the word "Walter" appear written below the circular frame on the card.
