Painted in oil on canvas, the portrait measures 36 inches in height and 30 inches in width. The artist's signature is apparently absent from the artwork.

The details and composition of the painting reflect the artistic style of the mid-19th century, providing a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the antebellum period in the United States. One of the notable features of this portrait is its original elaborate carved giltwood frame. The frame adds a touch of opulence and serves as a complementary element to the artwork itself. The giltwood frame is intricately carved, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. This portrait, along with its original giltwood frame, is a valuable and significant piece of American art history from the 1850s. It represents a snapshot of the societal and cultural aspects of the time, capturing the beauty and grace of an elegant lady.
