description A head-and shoulders profile portrait of a woman seen in three quarter face view, facing right. She wears overalls and a large cap, from which one rebellious curl has escaped at the nape of her neck. The artist herself served as a counterhand and washer-up at Lyons Corner House, Piccadilly, between 1951 and 1956, where she made many empathetic portraits of her fellow workers.
