In this bust-length portrait photography of Cora Benneson taken when she was 18 years of age, she directs a steady, confident gaze directly at the camera. Her eyes are somewhat wide set, small, and purposeful. She has a small, regular nose. Her thin lips are neither upturned in even a hint of a smile, nor downturned to indicate a frown or displeasure. Her short, wavy hair is parted on the top of her head, with the bulk of the hairstyle flowing from above each temple back to the nape of her neck. She is wearing a high-collared dress with scallopped dark lace at the neck. Around her neck also is a tight necklace with a cross hanging from just below her Adam's apple. Next Page
