The image displays a profile portrait of a woman. She is facing to the right with an elegant posture, showing her head and upper shoulders. The woman's facial features include a delicate nose and chin. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo with curls, braids, and a decorative hairpiece. She wears clothing with a checkered pattern on the shoulder, ruching at the seam, and a modest neckline. There is no visible jewelry. The background is plain, set within an oval frame against a slightly textured surface. Handwritten text at the bottom identifies her as "Mrs. Wickham, wife of Elizabeth Seldon."
