The image shows an elderly woman seated on a decorative chair. She is facing the camera with a gentle expression on her face. She is wearing a bonnet that covers her hair completely, a high-collared blouse or dress with a large bow at her neck, and long, loose-fitting sleeves. Her hands rest in her lap. The chair has a spiraled design and ornamental details typical of the 19th century. At the bottom of the image, there is text with the name “Aunt Mary” and a personal quote attributed to her.
