Attractive mid-19th century watercolor portrait of a woman seated at a table or writing desk and holding a letter. Her face, coiffure, and lace-trimmed, black crinoline dress are skillfully rendered.

The woman sits at a red cloth covered table with writing accoutrements. Her confident pose holding a letter suggests that she is both genteel and literate.
