Mrs. Cynthia Bower

J. Halstead

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman seated from the waist up. She is holding a knitting needle and yarn, with a neutral expression. The woman has her body angled slightly to the side, her head facing forward. She has neatly pulled back hair, a checkered dress with a high collar, full sleeves, and a white apron over her lap. The background is a plain backdrop, likely used in studio photography.
