The image displays an old, faded daguerreotype of a woman wearing a Victorian era dress, styled with a tightly fitted bodice and voluminous skirt, accessorized with a dark ribbon around her neck and matching bracelets on each wrist. She is framed within a decorative gold inner frame, showcasing intricate patterns, encased in a weathered red outer case adorned with a textured floral design. Her expression is poised and serene, typical of portraiture from this period.
