The image shows a woman in profile view, seated and facing to the right. She has a slightly prominent nose and a gentle jawline, and her hair is obscured by a bonnet with frilled edges. She is dressed in a high-collared garment with similar frilled details. The background is a simple, dark, circular field. An inscription at the bottom reads "Mrs. Wilson, Eliza".
