I believe this is a self-portrait. It shows big engageantes and a bit of the shallow vee waistline coming into fashion at the time.

Keywords:  1899, Forbes, straight coiffure, trapezoidal neckline, epaulettes, quarter length flared over-sleeves, three quarter length under-sleeves, engageantes, vee waistline, close skirt, wrap, wedding dress
