Abstract: "Mrs. Fitzherbert stands beside a dressing-table, her head turned in profile to the left, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wears petticoat and stays, with a tiara inscribed 'Ich [dien]' and head-dress of three ostrich feathers and drapery. She is very buxom, with conspicuously large breasts, but is about to place a pad or frame across her bust which will increase her 'enbonpoint'. Above the dressing-table hangs an oval bust-portrait of the Prince of Wales surmounted by a crown and 'ich. dien'."--British Museum online catalogue.
