Portrait of Emily Peacock in costume and posing as the protagonist from the accompanying Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem titled "The May Queen". She sits with her hands clasped together over her chest, and her eyes looking upwards. The brimmed hat she wears is pushed back so that the brim appears to surround her head like a halo, and her hair cascades down her back and over her shoulders.
