- This is a black and white photograph of Etta Moten Barnett. It depicts her seated, wearing a black dress. She is turned a quarter-turn away from the camera to the left and turns her head towards her left shoulder to gaze past the viewer.

She wears a dress with a high turtleneck and long sleeves. On her head is a black beret. At her neckline is a brooch in the shape of bow suspended from two rings, and on her left wrist is a large chunky chain link bracelet.
