The bottom third of her dress is gathered material with three off-set black bows, and two parallel columns of small rectangular ribbon shapes. She wears long black gloves with a gold bracelet around her right wrist. In her left hand she holds gold opera glasses. She wears a gold necklace, gold drop earrings, and a gold band around her head.
