DescriptionA photograph mounted on a cabinet card showing the profile of a woman's head and shoulders. Her hair is wavy and pulled into a braided bun at the back of her head with a few ringlets on her forehead. The clothing she is wearing features lace around the neckline and in two vertical bands coming down from the shoulders. Two buttons are visible and on her left shoulder is a large, flat bow. Covering the area around her nose is a honeycomb and surrounding it is an array of bees, covering most of her left neck, cheek, and ear area.
