Title

Unidentified portrait of a woman with a fan

Description

Black and white studio image of a woman in a dress with a tunic bodice. The bodice features a double row of buttons in a v-shape going up to a small collar. The cuffs and collar of the dress appear to be velvet, and a large ribbon bow is tied at her neck and upon her head. The skirt has a double row of small flounced ruffles, and she holds a fan of feathers along with a handkerchief in her hand. She appears to be sitting on a rustic fence with a blanket on the railing beside her and a stump at her feet.
