Sepia-toned photograph of Louise Blanchard Bethune, the first professional female architect in the United States. She is pictured sitting at a drafting table working on an architectural drawing in a softly lit interior space sometime between 1880-1890. She is leaning slightly forward with one hand supporting her head while writing on a sheet of paper. The surroundings include a wall-mounted lamp and what appears to be furniture in the background. The image has visible aging marks, discoloration, and a torn section on the left side.
