The image is a historical photograph, known as a carte de visite, which features a person seated with what appears to be a knitting project in their hands. The individual is wearing a dark striped dress with buttons and has a shawl draped over their shoulders. There is a tasseled cloth or curtain partially visible in the background on the right-hand side.

The bottom of the image contains a caption which reads, "I sell the shadow to support the substance. SOJOURNER TRUTH," suggesting that the person in the photo may have been selling the photograph (referred to as "the shadow") to financially support themselves or their cause (referred to as "the substance"). This form of carte de visite was commonly used during the 19th century for both personal mementos and as a means of spreading awareness about various social causes or notable individuals. The photograph itself is sepia-toned, indicative of the photographic processes of that era.
