Description
Photographic portrait in postcard format representing a young woman photographed in a studio against a background of foliage backdrop and scuffed flooring. The girl is standing in contrapposto, turned to her right, and is looking to her left past the camera. One hand is on her hip, and the other hand holds her waist-long pearl necklace. The debutante wears a light-hued, cap sleeve, drop-waist, shift dress with two-toned ribbons sewn around the hips. The skirt is pleated and ends at the top of her knee. She is wearing pale stockings and light heels, which feature one strap across the vamp with a button fastening. She wears her hair in a girlish soft-curl bob.
