Portrait of a Woman

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an individual seated in an upright position. The person's head is turned slightly towards the camera, with a calm expression. The face is round with soft features, and the hair is short and close-cropped. The person is dressed in a dark coat with a clerical-style collar and a black bow tie, holding a closed book. The image is encased in an ornate frame with gold floral designs. The background is a simple, plain backdrop.
