Black-and-white portrait of Emily Carr, shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the left. She is wearing a dark hat with a textured band and a cape or coat fastened at the front with visible buttons. A high-collared garment is visible underneath. Her hair is tucked under the hat, and her face is softly lit against a plain studio background. The photograph shows scratches and wear consistent with an old print.
On this day in 1945, Emily Carr died.
