A vertically oriented wood engraving in black ink depicts a woman with a light skin tone in profile facing our right, wearing a black bonnet and full black dress. Beside her, a young girl in a light-colored dress and hat gazes up from a doorway. To our left, a tall stone post stands. In the background, fine lines suggest a fence and distant houses. Text below reads, THE LADY IN BLACK.
