Townsend is wearing a dark dress with a high collar and ruffle detailing on the upper torso. Her dress has billowing sleeves which gather at the forearm. There is white structure, similar to a decorative gate with inset fabric, on the right. Townsend’s proper right hand is holding the top of the lower gate and her left elbow is resting on the top. Her left arm is bent and her hand is against the side of her face. A worn background featuring decorative plants and furniture is visible. There is text for [M. M. MUDGE, CHATTANOOGA, TENN.] below the image. On the back of the photograph is a handwritten inscription in pencil [Laura Townsend / Winchester].
