Portrait of a Woman

Andrew A. Grier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated in a three-quarter length portrait. She is sitting in a relaxed position on a decorative chair, with her right arm resting on a small cushion on the armrest. Her left arm lies across her lap. The woman has a voluminous afro hairstyle and a composed expression. She wears a dress with floral patterns, lace details, and high lace-up boots. She is adorned with a bracelet on her right wrist. The backdrop is a textured surface, with the caption "Grier Bros., No. 906 Arch Street, Phila." at the bottom of the photograph.
