I don't think she is as serious as she appears. Her eyes have a twinkle and her lips look as if they will bust into a giggle at any moment.
And, the watch, it looks like a modern plastic one.
FH Howells operated a studio from this address from 1909-1918. One TC Howells (I'm guessing his son) ran it from 1924-1939.
My estimate is this portrait was taken during the Great War, 1914-1918.
The watch really stands out in that photo.
A dignified young lady. Almost noon I think. Or midnight.
She looks like a schoolteacher to me!
It's the wire framed glasses that give her the studious look.
Love the seat she's sitting on.
Interesting watch. It looks like some of the ones I've seen in the stores today, quite modern!
