The subject is depicted in a three-quarter view, with her head and shoulders adorned in the fashionable attire of the time. She wears a high-waisted, full-skirted dress with intricate patterns, accessorized with a bonnet adorned with a delicate ribbon and a pair of glasses perched on her nose. The lady's countenance exudes a sense of refinement and elegance, with her piercing gaze fixed on an unseen point in the distance. The use of oil painting techniques adds depth and texture to the portrait, capturing the subtle nuances of the lady's skin tone and the rich colors of her clothing.

It provides a glimpse into the fashion trends and societal norms of the time, offering a fascinating insight into the lives of women during this period. The portrait is currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
