Description: 

This portrait depicts the matriarchal figure of Ms. Nichols. The dignified character is captured from the waist up, wearing dark Victorian style clothing. The attire is concealing and covers the figure up to her chin. Around the collar, white lace lapels encircle her neck and run down to the bodice of her outfit, the mid-section appears to be wrapped with dark satin. Ms. Nichols has perfectly set hair that is held in place on top of her head. She looks intently through wired rim glasses at some type of periodical. Her hand appears very weathered as she grasps the newspaper in front of her. The background of this portrait is entirely dark and allows the lighting used to draw focus to all exposed areas.
