caption: The image shows a portrait of a woman wearing a black dress, painted by William Henry Potthast. The woman has a gentle expression on her face, her eyes looking off into the distance. Her hair is pulled back in a neat bun, and her hands are clasped in front of her. She is wearing a long, dark dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. The background is a muted grey, and the painting is done in a realistic style.
