Here is a description of the image:

The image is a black and white photographic negative of a woman, likely taken in the early to mid-20th century based on her attire. She is the central figure and is dressed in a long coat with fur trim, a hat, and a pearl necklace. Her hands are clasped in front of her.

The background is blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting, perhaps with trees or shrubbery out of focus. The negative format means that the light and dark areas are inverted; where the woman and her clothing are dark in the negative, they would appear light in a positive print.

Above the woman's head and to the upper right, there appears to be handwritten text or numbers on the negative.

The image is a negative print of a formal portrait of a woman.

Here's a breakdown:

• Subject: The central figure is a woman, dressed in what appears to be a stylish outfit from the early 20th century. She is wearing a cloche hat, a long coat or dress with fur trim, and likely a necklace. She has her hands clasped in front of her.
• Composition: The woman is posed with a slight angle toward the camera, looking directly at it. The framing is a medium shot, showing her from the upper chest up.
• Lighting and Tone: The negative print produces a reverse image effect. The background is obscured and undefined, but appears to show some light and dark patterns.
• Details: The image quality is somewhat soft, typical of the photographic technology of the time. The woman's expression is neutral, formal, and typical of portraits in the style of the era. Above her are some handwritten notes, the top one reads, "Mrs. Paul Berry" and the other, "51".
• Overall Impression: The portrait conveys a sense of formality, status, and an era of classic elegance.
