This appears to be a photographic negative which shows a full-body view of a person standing. Their body faces the right, while their head is turned to look over their shoulder towards us. The person is wearing a sleeveless dress that flares out towards the bottom. Their hair is styled back. They are holding a rectangular object with a pattern on it that looks like a large flower. There also appears to be a large flower attached to their dress at the hip. The background, their skin, and the object they hold are all dark gray, while their hair, facial features, and dress are bright white.
