DescriptionStudio portrait of a young woman, probably an actress, with curly brown hair, dressed in a dark dress with white cuffs, a white apron and a white cap. It appears to be the uniform of a maid, or possibly a nurse. She poses with one finger on her lip and the other hand pointing to the right. A painted backdrop, possibly a theater curtain, is behind her.
