National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body and profile of a person facing left. The individual has a round face with soft features, a prominent nose, and curly hair styled high with a headband. They wear a high-collared garment with lace or frilled trim and a decorative element around the shoulders, possibly a shawl. An earring is visible on their ear. The background is plain and shaded, emphasizing the profile within an oval frame. The lower part of the image states "Mrs. Brokholst Livingston" and the artist's mark "St. Memin delt. et sculpt."
