Rectangular, full-length oil-on-canvas portrait of Mrs. Larz Anderson (Isabel Weld Perkins) (1876-1948) by Cecilia Beaux (1855-1942), 1900-1901. The subject is standing facing slightly to the proper left with her right hand resting on a black-and-gold circular-top table.

She stands in a drawing room with a light-colored fireplace, mirror, wall, and gold sconce behind her and a wood floor. A gold-and-black Asian folding screen stands in front of the fireplace opening. A crystal ball on an ivory stand and a small dark-colored sculpture rest on the circular-top table in the foreground. Signed by the artist in black paint "Cecilia Beaux." in the lower left corner of the canvas. In the original rectangular gilt wood frame (b).
