Envelope reads "Mrs. John Adams." Negative is a portrait of Mrs. Adams posing sitting on the rim of a bathtub which has been drapped with lots of material to disguse its appearance. She is wearing a gauzy dress with spaghetti straps, high heeled shoes with laces, a cap over her hair with a tassel hanging down the left side of her head. She is holding a folded fan in her hand but it is spread out. A portion of a pedestal sink and a towel rack are visible on the right side of the photo.
