This painting is a portrait of a woman sitting in a chair. She is wearing a dark dress with a white collar and a headband. Her hands are resting in her lap, and she is looking directly at the viewer. The woman's face is painted with soft, gentle features, and her expression is calm and serene. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the woman's face and clothing. The artist who painted this portrait, Adelaide Cole Chase, was known for her skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression.
