Seated next to him is a light-skinned woman. Her dark hair is pulled back and arranged in Gibson Girl style. She has a pleasant look on her face, but she does not smile. Her hands are set in her lap. She wears a dark, high-necked, long-sleeved top and full skirt. There is a brooch at her neck, a strand of pearls around her neck, and a very long necklace that extends to her waist.
