Unlike the many portraits on this board that show public figures, this one is identified only as Mrs. Lewis Morris, shown in a half-length pose turned to the left. The name belongs to more than one family in American history, and the caption card records no date or photographer, so the sitter's exact identity and the year of the portrait remain uncertain. Studio portraits of this kind, with the subject framed from the waist up, were common in the later 1800s, when photographers used them for family albums, cabinet cards, and formal keepsakes. The angled pose and the plain presentation are typical of that tradition.
