4 3/16"h x 3 1/16"w sepia tone oval portrait of Elizabeth, known as Bessie, Shanks as a young woman. She had dark hair in a Gibson Girl hairdo, plus a poufy bow on one side. She had a long neck that was emphasized by a dark ribbon right under her jaw and a high collar on her white dress. The dress had a lace yoke edged with a ruffle and lace sleeves, but the rest of the bodice was in narrow panels. She wore a large dark bow at the edge of the ruffle. The photographer's logo was stamped in the lower right corner of the board.
