Full length portrait of Hester Booth in a multicoloured geometrically patterned dress, turning to her right, her right hand raised, her left resting on a wooden sword (possibly a slapstick). She stands in an architectural setting with a black and white checquered floor, and, left, a pillar, its base decorated with the masks of tragedy and comedy.
