Description
A dark-haired young woman wears the colors of Pennsylvania University, red and blue. She stands in a Belle Epoque garden setting and the bottom of the plate reads: "Pennsylvania." She stands between a bird-footed twisting column, a stand of blue bells and a turn-of-the-century brass grillwork gate. There is a classical female sculpture in the center of a fountain behind her and the buildings of Pennsylvania University in the distance. She wears a long dress of blue and red narrow stripes. The round neck of the bodice has an inset of white with blue strips, a fluffy white bow at the neck, and a gathered band of white at the join to the colored dress. She wears a narrow boa of brown around her shoulders. Narrow blue and red ribbons hang from the end of the boa. Her dress has narrow sleeves with cuffs reaching past her wrists, fullness above the waist giving the 'pouter pigeon' silhouette, and a red belt tied in a bow at the front. To complete the outfit she wears tan gloves, a red hat with edges bound in blue, trimmed with a large red and blue striped bow, and she carries a red and blue parasol.
