Silhouette of a seated, "snooty-looking" woman. Her nose is in the air and her hair is piled high with a large Spanish comb in the back. She is sitting on a curved-back chair and is wearing a robe or a dress with a very high, lace-trimmed
collar and full sleeves which are also lace-trimmed. She is holding knitting or
crocheting needles in her hands. Rust-colored "wiggles"
