Abstract: "A fat and vulgar woman, indecently décolletée, stands with right hand on her hip, a fan in her left hand, looking arrogantly up and to the left. She wears a large paradise plume in her hair with a small bunch of flowers. Her head is framed by an erect frill or ruff; her trained dress defines her clumsy figure."--British Museum online catalogue
