Description:

Her hair is styled in soft curls framing her face, and she gazes slightly away from the camera with a neutral or melancholic expression. The style of dress, coiffure, and makeup—including dark lipstick—are characteristic of early to mid-1920s fashion.
Condition:
Overall good condition with minor surface wear, soft corners, and slight creases, especially in the lower right corner. Tonal range is strong, with some general fading consistent with age.
