Description
Portrait of young woman dressed in long skirt and matching blouse, nipped at the waist with a matching belt fixed with a silver pin. The bodice is accented with a full lace collar and shoulders and two rows of lace sewn across the chest. The long sleeves are also accented with lace at the cuff. Her brown hair is swept up in a chignon on top of her head, with loose curls around her face. The woman's name is believed to be Edna, the creator of a crazy quilt that accompanied the donation of this portrait.
