A studio portrait of a woman, W. D. Westervelt, Los Angeles, ca. 1890s. The image is an upper torso and head shot of a lady in her fifties with her hair pulled up and wearing a black dress with much white embroidered work around the front and neck, at which latter place is a brooch. There is also a rose corsage on the dress. With a section missing at the lower right and some minor soiling and edge rubbing, the overall condition is good.
