Description

A photographic tintype of an elegant middle-aged lady with hat, umbrella and train. The woman is facing right in a parlor with bookcase, classical moldings and Victorian fireplace that may be a painted backdrop. She is standing wearing a tall hat with white feather flowers at the rear. Her curly hair is in a fringe and drawn back with a braid and a bun. She wears small dark earrings, an upturned collar lined with fluted lace, an embroidered or beaded neckpiece, a medium dark jacket with white cuffs, dark leather gloves, a peplum, a straight skirt with layers and three pleated hem flounces, and a draped and pleated train coming from under the pointed back of the peplum. She carries a narrow-rolled umbrella in her left hand and an object in her right. Behind her stands a chair with cabriole legs and tufted cushions.
