Portrait of a Woman

British 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in a half-length sitting portrait. The individual is seated, slightly turned to the side. Their facial features are slightly visible, possibly due to photo quality. They have short or closely cropped hair, and wear clothing with a pattern and a white collar. Their right hand rests on their lap with a white cuff visible. The image has a vintage frame with a gold and red border. The background is plain and dark.
