Hand-tinted carte de visite portrait of Miss Jennie Quigley, shown seated with a young girl in a studio composition with oval vignette. The mount identifies the sitter and gives measurements: “Miss Jennie Quigley, 23 Years old; Height, 28 inch.; Weight, 32 lbs.”

Quigley was one of several little-person performers exhibited in late nineteenth-century shows and museum displays. The photograph is delicately hand-colored, particularly visible in the bright pink dress of the child and floral background details.
