The image shows the upper half of a woman standing outdoors. She is slightly leaned forward, holding flowers in her hands. Her face is obscured by a large flower. She has short or styled updo hair with soft curls, and is wearing a patterned dress with short sleeves. The background includes a portion of a wooden house with a window and curtains partially drawn. Leafy plants are visible around her, suggesting a garden setting. The date "7-28-40" is written in the lower right corner of the photo.
