Description

This oil painting depicts a younger Mary Todd Lincoln. Although her shoulders are square to the viewer, her gaze is slightly toward the viewer's right. She wears a green silk dress with a white lace collar, a broach pinned at her throat, and a red bow in her hair. The background is painted dark green.
