The image shows the upper half of a woman's body in profile. She has a prominent forehead, a well-defined nose, and a slightly pursed mouth, and looks mature. She wears a cap with lace detailing, featuring subtle patterns and a ribbon. Her clothing has delicate patterns and a high collar with a bow tied at the neck. The background is plain within a circular frame. At the bottom, there is a label with the handwritten name "Mrs. Cabell Wm. Henry.”
