"Plate 6 of a series of courtesans: In all, the design is in an oval, enclosed in an oblong of the same dimensions, the oval and the rectangle being differentiated by engraved lines of different patterns. A young woman in profile to the right, her hair neatly dressed over a high cushion and decorated with loops of lace or ribbon. She is of demure appearance and wears an ear-ring; a black ribbon is tied round her neck.
