Description

An unidentified African American woman smiles as she stands by a baby grand Vose & Sons - Boston piano with her right hand resting just above the piano keys; her left hand behind her back. She has a flower in her hair on the right side above her ear. She wears a necklace, a wrist watch on her right wrist, and a full-length, full-skirt light-colored evening gown with puffed sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and a wide waistband. She wears light-colored open-toed shoes. An opened piece of music is on the piano. A picture of a palm-lined street is on the wall above the piano. A floor lamp behind her is mostly obscured. There is an upholstered chair behind and to the left of her.
