This 1889 portrait, part of the "Women's Portraits" series, is a monochrome print depicting a young woman in a detailed, wide-brimmed hat with pom-poms. The image showcases the artistic skills of William S. Kimball & Company, known for their work in the late 19th century. The print, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the popular trend of collecting "carte de visite" portrait cards during the Victorian era.
