"Portrait of Woman" is a chromolithograph from the "Novelties" series of trading cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a woman with long, flowing hair and a yellow scarf. The image is framed in a circular border, a popular style for trading cards at the time. The artwork's small size suggests it was meant to be collected and traded. The card exemplifies the visual style and marketing strategy of late-19th-century tobacco companies, employing appealing imagery to promote their products.
