We haven't seen this picture yet, have we?
It's undated. She looks to be maybe about 40 years old here; her face being a little out of focus makes it hard to tell. The sleeves of her dress have a sort of 1890s style, though I can't get too specific. (And that may have served as her best dress for some years.) The imprint on the photo's paper sleeve tells us that the photographer won an award in 1897. So, hmm, let's say circa 1898.
Rather interesting dress, with that asymmetrical bodice, but doesn't it look uncomfortable?
