Her hair is parted at the center and gathered into a dark colored snood behind her head. She is wearing a dark colored dress with balloon sleeves embellished with a zigzag lace detail. A white folded collar is around her neck with a large circular brooch pinned at the center front neck. A long chain is wrapped around her neck that extends down her front and dangles into her lap, with the end hidden by her hands. She has a ring on her left ring finger. Her right hand rests in her lap, while her left elbow is propped on a table with a fringed covering. There is a double-lined border printed in gold ink surrounding the outside edges of the card mount.
