This black and white photograph represents a closely cropped image of a white woman's face. She looks to her left. The top of her head is cropped out of the image, but a bright piece of jewelry can be seen in her hair (or possibly on a hat). She wears a large diamond and pearl earring on her right ear and a three-strand pearl necklace. The right shoulder of her dark coat can be seen in the lower left of the image.
