content: The woman has dark curly, shoulder-length hair. She wears a light-colored short-sleeved dress. She looks straight towards the camera, with her body turned slightly away. Her proper left arm and hip rest lightly on the top edge of a small white column. A spotlight on her face and shoulders creates shadows on the wall behind her. Also visible on the wall is an outlet and light switch, both with dark-colored plates. At the top left corner is the handwritten inscription [7-28-44 / May the best / be yours always. / Sincerely / Wilma]. On the reverse is the inscription [To Helen J.].
