Three-quarter length, front facing portrait of a seated African American woman. Sitter has dark hair, parted in the middle, crimped, and looped behind her ears.

A pin adorns the front of her collar. She rests her left forearm on a book which sits atop a table covered in a patterned cloth in the right of the image. A ribbon adorns her left wrist and she wears a ring on her left forefinger. Her right hand rests in her lap. Her lips and upper cheeks are tinted pink.
