Description
Miniature bust-length portrait of a man facing to the viewer's right, inside a gold-plated oval pendant. The man wears a white wig, a red jacket, a white lace collar, and a white waistcoat with orange buttons and blue trim. The background of the portrait is in shades of medium to dark blue. The oval pendant is glass fronted, to display the portrait. It has a flat edge around the glass front, within an engraved beveled edge. The top of the pendant has a loop of metal; two gold rings are attached to that loop, for hanging the pendant on a chain. The back of the pendant is engraved, "Mrs. Wm. C. Alden/ Boston".
