The tintype photograph depicts a three-quarter studio portrait of an unidentified Black woman seated in front of a neutral background. Her body is positioned at an angle, while her eyes gaze directly at the camera. Her hands are clasped in her lap, with her right arm propped on a padded posing chair, decorated with a fringe trim. A stretch of dark fabric, possibly velvet, is draped over the arm of the posing chair. She is dressed in a gown made of a dark fabric with light colored trim around the open sleeve cuffs. She wears a light colored necktie, tied loosely around her neck. The metal plate is damaged with dents, creases, and rust that obscure parts of the image.
Metadata for this photograph was created by students as part of the course Curating Hidden Collections & the Black Archive in Spring 2021. Further information about their work can be found in the companion website: http://sites.udel.edu/baltimorecollection/.
