About this object
A full length carte de visite portrait of an unidentified woman.
The woman is seated against a painted backdrop depicting a decorative sitting room. The woman wears a voluminous dark dress which appears to be of silk. She is turned slightly to her left with her left arm resting on a table. The table is covered with a decorative cloth and has an open book resting on it.
Her dark hair is parted in the middle and dressed at the nape of her neck. Her gaze does not meet the camera. The woman is possibly a friend or member of the Russell Duncan family.
Photographer, unknown.
Date unknown.
