Portrait of a Woman

Mlle. Verdier

The image depicts a woman from the waist upward seated in a portrait style, facing slightly to the right. She has dark hair and is wearing a dark dress with lace collar and cuffs, accessorized with a brooch, lace detailing on the sleeves, and bracelets. The background is a dark hue, typical of daguerreotype portraits, and the photograph is framed with a gold-colored border.
