Photo 4 shows a young woman dressed in white, sitting on a chair that has been set on top of a small wooden table. The so-called "Count" A. Tamborini, who became a portrait painter in Pasadena, paints her portrait. He can be seen holding a very large paint pallet in his left hand, and a paintbrush in his right. Several tubes of paint are scattered around his right foot, which rests on top of the table. Although the young model can be seen wearing a long-sleeve white dress in the photo, she appears in a spaghetti strap dress in the portrait.
