An albumen print on cabinet card depicting a young woman holding a closed fan.

A short, dark, thin shawl is wrapped around her neck and shoulders. There are bracelets on both of her wrists and rings on the fingers of both hands. At the bottom of the photograph card, in brown ink, is: [D. D. DARE, CHEYENNE, WYO.]. There are various graphite inscriptions on the reverse of the cabinet photograph, to include intricate art nouveau patterns throughout.
