A full-length woman stands facing forward in a plain outdoor setting, wearing a nineteenth-century dress-reform outfit. Her dark, long-sleeved, high-necked bodice or jacket is gathered at the waist over a lighter buttoned blouse, and a voluminous ankle-length skirt falls nearly to the ground. Trouser-like garments and sturdy shoes are visible beneath the hem. She holds a small handled basket or bag in her lowered right hand, while her left hand hangs at her side. The figure is centered within a lightly shaded ground and rounded backdrop; a small artist’s signature appears near the lower left.A full-length woman stands facing forward in a plain outdoor setting, wearing a nineteenth-century dress-reform outfit.
