Full-length studio portrait in front of a painted backdrop of Catherine Orb Seipp (1846-1920), wife of Chicago brewer Conrad Seipp. She is standing and wearing a floor-length tailored dress with elaborate embroidered trim, a comb in her hair, and a large anchor-shaped brooch at her neck. Her right hand, with the strap of a large hand fan draped over her wrist, rests on the back of a chair. The chair has a carved frame, and a small bouquet of flowers rests on the seat.
