Description	This plate shows a woman standing in a three-quarter pose, facing the viewer, her eyes looking directly at us. She models a long green dress. The bodice has a round jewel neckline and a yoke of pale green and white floral pattern which extends across into the upper sleeves. Both the front and back of the yoke end in a gentle curve. Below the yoke, the lower bodice and the elbow length sleeves are of pale green in eight medium horizontal pleats. A softly pleated sash runs diagonally across her chest from bust to waist. The waist and the narrow ruffles at the elbows are of the floral pattern. The skirt fits smoothly to the hips, and below the hips flares out into a trumpet shape of twenty-one horizontal pleats. At the back is a very long plain green sash with pointed ends which reaches almost to the hem. At the right is a smaller, black and white back view of the gown. The woman has up-swept brown hair and wears a black hat with black feather plumes. She holds an open pale green parasol with a wide ruffled hem trimmed with floral ruching. She wears a choker of three strands of pearls and wears long white gloves. Behind her is a black and white illustration of branches of flowering magnolia.
