Summary:
Three-quarter-length portrait of Fanny Watts (1858-1927) seated in an armchair. She wears a black dress with white lace cuffs and collar, a red ribbon at her neck, a strand of beads, and earrings. She leans forward, her body tilts to the left, and she holds the arms of the chair with each hand.
