Emma Abbott poses with a rose in her hand as she might when she sings “’Tis the Last Rose of Summer.” She stands before a large window, which appears to be part of a backdrop. She faces the camera, standing in a sturdy pose with her right foot ahead of her left and pointed to the right. With her left hand she leans against a table that is covered with a full-length cloth. On the table is a vase filled with long stem roses and greens. Her dress is short, ending at mid-calf. She wears boot-shaped shoes with thick, stubby heels and a long lip with a heavy buckle. Her dress is a white, doted-Swiss fabric, fitted to the waist, with a semi-full skirt. A large layer of dark fabric is drabbed around her skirt below the waist. It is lower at the front to accentuate her small waist. She wears a small-brimmed hat covered with material similar to her dress. There is a large, dark ribbon bow on the brim. The dress has a low neck lined with lace, and she wears a dark wide ribbon around her neck; the ends are across her left shoulder. Her expression is sad, her eyes look into the distance longingly. Her mouth is set.
