DescriptionA carte-de-visite portrait of a woman with hair pulled back and her head slightly turned to the left of the frame. She wears a black blouse fastened with round buttons and high collar, with intricate flower designs embroidered along either side of the center line. A black-and-white biological illustration is collaged on top of the woman's face, obscuring her left ear, forehead, part of her nose and mouth, and almost the entirety of her hair.On View
