Studio portrait photograph of a woman seated in a chair, pictured in profile, facing to the right. The detail of the chair has been obscured by the hand-colouring of the image but the detail largely remains in the lilac and black dress the sitter is wearing. The background is pale and plain, and the sitter clasps her hands together in her lap.
