Cabinet card portrait of a young girl seated against a plain studio backdrop wearing a dark Victorian dress with wide sleeves and a crocheted lace collar. She wears a decorative headpiece or wreath in her hair and holds a small photographic print in both hands, presenting it toward the camera. The photograph she holds appears to show an outdoor scene with trees and figures, possibly a snapshot or earlier photograph incorporated as a sentimental prop within the portrait.

The mount bears the printed imprint “Conrad & Clark, Prairie Grove, Ark.” with a decorative “Extra Finish” emblem. Prairie Grove is a small town in Washington County, Arkansas, known historically for the Civil War Battle of Prairie Grove (1862) and later rural studio photography serving the surrounding farming communities. A faint pencil name reading “Jean Heath” appears below the image, likely identifying the sitter.

The reverse is blank aside from pencil notations including “801H” and a faint price notation. Portraits in which a sitter holds another photograph are occasionally encountered and often represent family remembrance or the inclusion of a cherished image within the portrait.
