Bust portrait of Nannette Price Smith, a young woman shown in a dark, plunging-neckline gown with white ruffle along the breastline. In the center is an oval brooch. She has a white shawl decorated with red flowers draped over her right shoulder and arm, which is raised and resting on an unidentified object. On her hand there is a ring on the index finger and more colorful detail is shown at the end of the shawl [this detail is obscured by the oval window on the frame]. Her skin is light and locks of reddish-brown hair fall around her face. The painting is framed in an ornate gilded frame with an oval window.
