This painting represents the back of a woman with bobbed, dark hair wearing a light blue shirt tucked into a white skirt. She stands with straight knees, leaning her weight onto her left leg, holding papers under her left arm and a cigarette in her right hand. She looks at an artwork hung on a wall that appears to be a painting. Standing in a gallery with light blue walls, she is surrounded by three paintings and two sculptures on pedestals.
In this black and white photograph, a woman fills the image. She turns her head to face the camera, looking out of the left corners of her eyes with her lips slightly parted. She wears a hat and a black garment, from under which a sliver of a white collar is seen. Above her head are out of focus shapes that look like leaves.
On a page removed from George Romney & Co.'s "Artistic Almanac" for 1887, this pencil sketch represents a woman draped in cloth with her head covered leaning against a wall.
