Summary

A studio portrait of a woman in an indoor setting. She is wearing a dark cotton princess line dress with buttons down the entire front centre, and a belt at the waist. The dress also has a pleated section at the bust, and bishop sleeves with ruching and white lace at the cuffs. The collar of the dress is of white lace with a scalloped edge. She is leaning against an ornate pot that sits on a plinth, and in her left hand she is holding what looks like a quill pen.
