Named as Sarah Whitaker, and a compantion piece to WAM 38.439, this miniature was attributed by Fink to Robert Field. It shows a young woman, wearing a simple white muslin dress with low neckline. The miniature mounted in oval 14 karat gold frame, which matched that of WAM 38.439. The frame was made at a later date than the miniature.
