Portrait of a Woman

Fred S. Tisdell

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman standing from the waist up. She has her hands behind her back and is wearing a light-colored blouse with a dark collar and two buttons. The woman has long, dark hair flowing past her shoulders in soft waves, and she appears to have a serious expression with expressive eyes. She is wearing a skirt or dress with a defined waist, secured by a belt with a circular buckle. The background is plain and blurred, and the photograph is mounted on a cardboard frame with an inscription indicating the photographer and location in New Haven, Connecticut.
