"A lady, young and beautiful, sits in an arm-chair, her head in profile to the left, gazing at her reflection in a standing pier-glass. She wears a dress cut very low, with short puffed sleeves, a small hat supporting two tall feathers and showing curls surrounding her face. A miniature on a long double chain is attached to her corsage. She holds a small round box of some cosmetic. Behind her a parasol lies on a table, with a ring in place of ferrule. Behind this stands an ornate harp, with three pedals, decorated with a winged female figure and roses, a suitable instrument for the display of rounded arms. Fringed curtains frame a tall window, which throws a strong light on lady and mirror."--British Museum online catalogue
