DescriptionA woman poses in a crescent shaped wicker seat at the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a portrait. She sits at an angle, leaning against one raised side of the seat and holds the opposite side with the left hand. She looks off to the side with a faint smile. She wears a floor length gown with a highly pleated and ruffled bodice, sleeves, and high neckline. Her hair is pulled away and back from the face in a high piled bun. She wears hoop earrings. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
