Figure descriptions
Portrait of a woman in extravagant dress surrounded by three tiny cherubs. The woman
wears a wide-brimmed hat with a
voluminous feather. Her dress has an off-the-shoulder neckline decorated with lace,
with a brooch at the center. She holds a letter
in her right hand. There is a cherub behind both of her shoulders. The cherub on the
left reaches up and plays with her hair. The
cherub on the right hangs off her shoulder and reaches toward her breast. A third
cherub lies on her forearm and reaches toward the
letter. The woman pays no mind to the cherubs and looks toward the left side of the
illustration. Full page.
