DescriptionPortrait of Emily Bull Sanford (Mrs. David Curtiss Sanford) by an unknown artist. She is portrayed in middle age, facing slightly to the left. Her dark hair, slightly touched with gray, is parted in the middle and drawn straight back over her ears and partly concealed by a widow's cap of white tulle with a coronet of three rolls above the forehead. It is tied in a bow at the back of her neck. She is wearing a black dress cut very low in the front, filled in with a vestee and narrow ruffles of white tulle, and trimmed around the neck and on the sleeves with black crepe. A stole or brown fur covers the lower part of her figure. She is seated in a dark red chair against a dull brownish background.
