Henrietta Ashbourne - London 1888

Mrs. Henrietta Ashbourne, widow of a prosperous merchant, maintains her standing in London's refined society. Impeccably dressed in the season's finest tailoring, she navigates the social season with practiced grace. Her structured jacket with military-inspired frogging and elegant pleated skirt reflect both propriety and understated wealth. With gloved hand and fashionable hat, she embodies the dignified composure expected of a woman of her station in the heart of the Empire.
