Hollow cut silhouette portrait over black silk of a woman facing right, crudely painted body wearing green dress and holding a flower, mounted in a gilded wood frame. This artist is sometimes referred to as the "Puffy Sleeve" artist due to the naive but charming painted details that almost always include characteristic full sleeves.
