This is a portrait of a woman in a dark dress with a high collar and lace trim. She wears a large, fancy bonnet with ribbons tied under her chin. Her hands rest in her lap, and the background is plain and dark. The lace on her collar and bonnet looks delicate and detailed. This is actually an early photograph, not a painting. Look up Romanticism next to see how this style shaped portraits like this one.
