A photographic portrait of Miss Alice Johnstone Douglas has been surrounded by an ornately decorated border of stylised flowers. Two cameos of angels decorate the top and bottom of the page. Miss Douglas is seated with her head resting on her hand and her elbow on the top of a chair. She is wearing a dark front-buttoned dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves and has a locket at her throat and a chain near her waist. Her hair is worn up with a ribbon wound around it. The sepia photograph has been retouched with blue to highlight the ribbons.
