caption: The image shows a painting of a woman wearing a black dress and a white hat, painted by William Henry Potthast in 1872. The woman is standing in front of a wall, her hands clasped in her lap and her gaze directed away from the viewer. Her hair is pulled back in a bun and she has a gentle expression on her face. The painting is done in a realistic style, with the woman's clothing and the wall in the background.
