Agnes Gordon Cochran Higginson (Mrs. Stephen Higginson)

Amerikanische Malerei 1870–1877, 1876

The image displays a head-and-shoulders portrait of a person seated and facing slightly to the left. The individual has a fair complexion with soft facial features, including gentle eyes, a prominent nose, and light-colored lips. Their hair is curly and short, with a light brown hue, and is partially covered by a modest cap with a soft fabric tied at the back, which appears to be of the same texture as their neck scarf. The person is wearing what appears to be a dark-colored coat over a lighter garment, possibly a high-collared blouse or shirt, with a cream-colored scarf draped elegantly around the neck. There is no visible jewelry or other items being held. The background is a dark, plain canvas.
