Abstract: "A lady walks from the spectator holding out a closed parasol in her right hand; with the left she raises the back of her dress, showing a leg but letting her skirt trail on the ground. She wears a poke bonnet projecting horizontally beyond her face, a short-waisted clinging dress, with short sleeves and elbow length gloves. A frilled tippet or plastron blows back from her shoulders, forming a triangle."--British Museum online catalogue
