The subject, a sophisticated young woman with fair skin and blonde hair who looks coyly at the viewer, is illuminated by an ethereal background of ombré blue into aqua that sets off her striking blue eyes. A oval, ebonized frame with gilt beaded trim draws the viewer in. On the reverse side are the remains of some biographical information handwritten on paper, giving her name and date of birth. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.
