This a fine example of a late-career Eickemeyer studio portrait showing a woman in profile posing against a painted landscape backdrop with a column on the far right side of image.

Possibly a carbon print exhibiting a textured pattern on the print surface, the subject matter of this sepia portrait bears a passing resemblance (unauthenticated) to a later known portrait of the photographer’s second wife Florence Brevoort, whom he married in 1918.  (d. 1940)
