B/W Print. Woman, in a long-sleeved dark outfit with white jabot, is seated on a hemispherical well cover. She is holding a dark sunshade and a small dog is standing up to her lap.

Written in the album in pencil is [Well].
Historical information
Possibly Edith Josephine Sharkey. Early residences in Claremont required their own water supply. Neighbours sometimes shared a well with pump or windmill.
