A sepia-toned bust portrait, vignetted in an oval of dark shading, of a woman wearing a high powdered coiffure and light-colored dress in the manner of late 18th-century European portraiture. The image reproduces a pastel or chalk drawing rather than a photograph, and no caption, artist credit, or publisher line is printed on the front. The sitter is not identified on the card, so the specific person and original artwork cannot be determined from the scan alone.
No printed text on front; sepia reproduction with visible halftone/grain texture. A faint horizontal line runs across the middle of the image, and there is a small chip at the upper right corner.
No postmark; no handwriting; undivided back; orange textured stock; Albertype imprint.
