Description
This postcard depicts a woman within an oval frame delimited by a pink ribbon.
The woman is wearing an outfit which would have rarely been seen at the time: a purple jumpsuit with wide straps topped by pink bows, under which is worn a high collar and long sleeved top of very think or transparent fabric. The hat, blue and gold, is high and narrow, adorned with a large green feather.
The bag hanging from her elbow has a very long strap and is coordinated to her shoes, both being yellow and green.
