This small, circular chromolithograph, part of the "Novelties" series by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company, depicts a woman in profile. Printed in 1889, it showcases a popular style of the time, featuring a delicately rendered face and a simple, elegant dress. The image, which was likely included in a pack of cigarettes or tobacco, exemplifies the use of art for commercial purposes during the late 19th century, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of portraiture as a genre.
