This carte de visite depicts actress Louise Keeley. She stands against a Victorian interor backdrop featuring shutters, curtains and a painting. Behind Keeley is a vase with flowers on top of a mahogany small table and she rests her arms on a matching mahogany chair. Keeley wears a typical Victorian style dress, with gingham print, frills on the bottom and pinched pouffy long sleeves.
