Abstract:
"A fat, middle-aged, and meretricious-looking woman sits full face with a full glass in her hand, eyelids lowered, the fingers of her left hand spread deprecatingly. Beside her is a bottle of 'Coniac Brandy'. Above her head: 'Really Gentlemen if you gaze on me in this manner you will put me quite to the blush!' Large red stones or beads form a double necklace and bracelets, and ornament a fillet in her hair and her short sleeves."--British Museum online catalogue
