Description:
Eleanor Garnier Hewitt is sitting in a chair in the center of the photograph. She is sitting in a three-quarter pose. She is wearing a white formal dress with sleeves covering the lower part of each arm. She is holding a white purse over one of the railings of the chair. She is not looking directly at the camera but appears to be looking down toward her right. At the bottom of the chair appears to be a rug which is the skin of an animal but there is no clear view of the type of animal skin. Eleanor is surrounded by several pieces of furniture which are made up of carved illustrated figures such as faces, symbols and animals in each square.
