Phoebe Anne "Annie Oakley" Moses poses in front of her tent in a camp for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show while touring in Europe, possibly in Paris. Moses was one of the major stars of the show. She wears a long dress with a floral print on it and a cape made from the same material around her shoulders. She also wears a hat adorned with a star and gloves. A wood sign hanging above the entrance to the tents reads "Annie Oakley." A wood chair is just inside her tent in the left midground. A rug with fringe around its edges and the word "Oakley" on it is resting on the back of the chair. A fan hangs in the back of the tent. Several additional tents are in the background.
