She wears a floral headdress, a locket and a light coloured dress with a full skirt. She poses in front of a balustrade.
The glass plate negative has been photographed showing the coated side and therefore the image appears laterally reversed. At least one print from this negative exists in the Collection, RCIN 2900349.
