An oval watercolor depicts a woman with light skin tone from the chest up, looking out at us with light eyes. She wears a black dress with a wide white lace collar and a central jeweled brooch, while a drop earring hangs on our left. Her dark hair is styled with tight curls at her temples. Soft blue and violet washes form the background. The portrait is set in a metal frame with a ring.
