This black-and-white photograph is a portrait of a woman named Ann Hurst Copeland seated in a chair with her left elbow propped on a table. She wears a dark-colored striped silk dress with large bell sleeves and a rounded white collar. Her cheeks are hand-tinted pink and a brooch at her neck and a ring on her right hand have been gilded gold. The photograph is housed in a metal frame and inside a burgundy velvet-lined black wooden case with an embossed leather cover. The photograph (a) and lid (b) portions of the case have become completely detached. The case closes with a hook on the right side.
