Genre/Subject Matter:
This three-quarter length seated studio portrait of a young woman is intended to demonstrate an ethnic or class ‘type’, in this case that of a ‘half-caste’ woman. She wears a simple dye-patterned garment and a polka-dot shawl, which covers her head and right shoulder. Beneath her shawl appears to be another, more close-fitting piece of material, which may be a silk kerchief intended to conceal her hair.
