A black-and-white portrait-style photograph of Beatrice Dedman. Dedman is wearing a full-length light-colored dress. The sheer outer layer of the skirt is gathered at the proper left front and held in place with a spray of artificial or real flowers, revealing a satin under layer of the skirt. Dedman is standing next to a pedestal that is wrapped in a drape and has a small floral arrangement on top, and she has been posed in front of a scenic backdrop.
