Description

4 1/4"h x 3 1/4"w hand colored oval photo. I think this was made in recent times because the back of the image is plastic. This is another version of the large oval photo in 2013.007.0053. Frances Lillia Dent had dark, possibly curly, hair, held back off her face with a white ribbon. She was seated on a bench with a large brown velvet arm with long twisted fringe. She had on a dark, maybe black, pin-striped dress with three quarter sleeves over a long sleeve white blouse with white tape trim and tatting on the edges of the collar and cuffs. The tie at the neck was colored green with black stripes. She had a thin black cord around her neck. She was very solemn. The colorist had given her finer features than appeared in the photo. The photo is in a pretty silver metal frame with an openwork flared edge and a green velvet back. ************************************ Text on verso:
