A woman stands next to a chair to pose for a portrait in this 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" black and white photograph. She wears a long dark dress with many buttons on the torso. She rests one hand on the wooden chair, which is upholstered with plush fabric and has fringe on its arms. The woman stands on a rug, and there is a painted backdrop, depicting plants and ornate ironwork, behind her. The photograph has a white border, on which "A.C. Strauss, Osceola, Neb." is printed.
