Portrait of a Woman

George H. Wood

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in a full-length portrait. She is facing forward with one hand resting on a chair and the other holding a hat. She has dark, neatly styled hair and is wearing a light-colored dress under a dark embroidered cape with a ruffled collar. The background features a painted scenic backdrop of water, trees, and distant hills or mountains. The floor in the foreground has a patterned design.
