Summary:
Portrait of a young woman with her body turned to the left, her head turned in profile to the left, and her gaze directed down to the left. She wears a triple strand of pearls, an off-the-shoulder dress trimmed with white fur, and a pair of white kid gloves. Her light brown hair is swept back from her face and into a knot at the back of her head, and a slender red velvet ribbon is tied around her head. In her hand she holds a small pair of opera glasses.
