The image is a portrait of a woman's upper body in profile, facing left. She is seated with prominent facial features including a nose and lips, and curly hair partially visible under an elaborate head covering. She wears a pleated collar and the background is a dark circle against a light backdrop. The text "Drawn & engd. by St. Memin Philadel." is curved around the circle, and below the portrait, the name "Dame Mrs Ludlow" is handwritten.
