A miniature portrait depicting a young woman with center-parted dark hair arranged in the smooth, low style popular in the mid-19th century. She wears a dark red dress with lace-edged chemisette, a small gold brooch at the throat, and gold hoop earrings. The portrait is presented under glass within a gilt surround, housed in its original hinged oval case covered in dark blue velvet.
