The record names this as a portrait bust of Mrs. Marshall Field, so the subject is a sculpted head and shoulders rather than a sitter posing in person. Marshall Field was the Chicago merchant whose department store became one of the city's best-known retailers, and his wife was a visible figure in Chicago society. The negative is a glass plate from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers with news and portrait photographs in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded, which has not been independently verified, so the identity of the sitter and the sculptor should be checked against other sources.
