In the right foreground is the back of a wooden chair and a table covered in a gingham tablecloth. In the background is a booth below two framed pictures. The floor is covered in black and white tiles in a diamond pattern. The photographer's mark, printed in the negative, on the left edge of the photograph reads, [H. BatteLLe / N.Y.C.]. Over the woman’s dress is a handwritten inscription in black ink that reads, [proof]. In the center of the top edge of the photograph is a second inscription in black ink that reads, [# 1]. There are no inscriptions on the back of the photograph.
