A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of a woman. The woman is depicted in full length, reclining in a booth, with her legs draped over the booth cushion to her proper left side.

She is wearing a long, light colored dress with puffed, elbow-length sleeves and she has flowers tucked into her hair. In the background, above the booth, are two framed pictures. The picture on the left side of the image depicts a figure, and the picture on the right is a landscape. The photographer's mark, printed in the negative, in the bottom left corner of the photograph reads, [H. BAttELLE / N.Y.C.]. Pencil crop markings on left and right edges of the recto.
