This female portrait stands out for its frontal and uncluttered composition, centered on a face with a frank gaze and a serious expression. The sepia-toned photograph is integrated into an oval white porcelain plaque, surrounded by a gold fillet and a wide gold-colored border. Two perforations allow for wall mounting. The Guéret Jonas signature appears discreetly at the bottom.
