A vertically oriented platinum print portrait depicts Lillian Gish from the waist up, a woman with light skin tone turned toward our left, her head tilted as she looks out at us. Long, wavy light hair frames her face and cascades down her back. She has large eyes and slightly parted lips. She wears a ruffled lace garment, her left arm resting across her right. Soft light obscures fine details.
