Description
A woman dressed in a sleek tan dress with extremely large puffed sleeves stands at a window with a view of a distant tree in winter foliage. Two vertical dark green velvet bands decorate the front of the bodice and the skirt. The lower tightly fitted section below the elbows on the sleeves and the high standing collar are also of dark green velvet. Rounded buttoned flaps of tan ornament the tops of the green bands on the bodice, the elbows of the sleeves, and the hems of the green bands on the skirt. Four flaps facing up on the bodice and down on the skirt create a waistband. She is wearing a matching tan hat ornamented with green ribbon, green bows, and tan plumes. She also wears white gloves, round blue earrings, and is holding a furled black umbrella.
