Full-length portrait of a woman, Mary Allis, standing next to a drop-front desk with cabriolet legs. Allis is wearing a dress that includes a bow with polka dots in the front and a scoop neckline. She is wearing her hair pulled back. She is also wearing eyeglasses with frames, and jewelry, including earrings and a necklace. The items on the drop-front desk are two candles, two candle holders, and a card, which appear to be an information card on the drop-front desk. There is a mirror above the desk with a card at the bottom. Mary Allis was the owner of the Ogden House in Fairfield and a celebrated antique and folk art collector and dealer.
