DescriptionA portrait of a girl with dog posing on a woven rug in the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The girl wears a long-sleeved light-colored dress with a large bow around the neck in the same shade. Her stockings are dark in contrast. She stands at an angle with her right should slightly forward and her head and chin falling down towards it. Her eyes gaze up towards the photographer and expresses a half smile. Behind her sits a dark colored shaggy, longhaired dog with long floppy ears, possibly a spaniel named Hubbell. The pup has a white patch on its chest. Her left arm reaches back to touch it.
