Description
A woman wears a dark blue walking dress with long sleeves and an empire waist. The dress is trimmed in black. Black beads or buttons line the yoke, and the high, standing collar is black and edged with a two-tiered white lace ruff. The woman wears blue, button-up boots with black toes. Her gloves are yellow, and she wears a blue hat with a dramatic black and blue crest, possibly of ribbon in loops or curls, on the crown. The brim is lined in white and trimmed with black and blue baubles, and the hat ties under the chin with a bow. She wears a lacy, white cap under her hat. The woman's left hand rests on the back of a pink chair which has a large, fringed, pale yellow shawl draped over it.
