content: A sepia tone photograph of a standing woman posing with a wooden chair. The photograph is in portrait orientation. The woman is depicted standing in three quarters pose, with her face turned towards the viewer, and resting her proper right arm on the back of a high-back chair. Her proper left arm is folded behind her back. The woman is wearing a white dress with thin dark stripes. The dress features a fitted bodice with dark ribbon trim running from the shoulders to below the knees, around the waist, over the chest, and at a knee length ruffle. Dark, decorative buttons are spaced out in pairs down the length of the vertical trim and at the elbows. The dress also features a high lace collar, lace trim over the shoulders, and lace sleeves over her forearms. She is wearing an inverted tear shaped brooch at the center of the collar and has a watch with a chain, pinned to the upper portion of her bodice. The chair is positioned sideways, facing the left edge of the image. The woman is standing in front of a plain, dark photographic backdrop. The photograph has a soft, blurred, white border. There is pinhole damage at the top and bottom right corners of the photograph. The back of the photograph is plain and cream colored.
