Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

The image shows a woman standing upright in the center. She is facing forward, with facial features appearing sketchy due to the etching. She wears a hat with a wide brim and has a tied scarf under her chin. Her hair is not visible. She wears a long, layered dress or coat that reaches her feet, with detailed fabric texture. She carries a bag on her right shoulder. The background includes a doorway, a window with geometric patterns, and a faint outline of another figure or object. The setting appears to be outdoors with minimal architectural details.
