Description |
Framed black and white portrait of a woman. The portrait is a circular shape and features the woman's head and chest. The woman's hair is pulled back behind her head and is parted in the center. Her facial expression is serious. She is wearing what appears to be a high-neck black dress with puffed sleeves and vertical details extending from the collar downward. The portrait sits within circular tiger stripe or "tiger wood" frame. The photograph's almost drawing-like quality comes from the a small underexposed image being enlarged and detailed with crayons, called a crayon enlargement or pastel portrait. |
