A beautiful young damsel of the late-Victorian period, suggestive of pre-Raphaelite influence and possessing an overall impressionistic palette. She sits, self-absorbed, on a bench and stares at a hand mirror. She wears a white, toga-like dress and is surrounded by rose petals both on the bench and on the floor at her feet atop a translucent pink drape.
PROVENANCE: Robert William York, Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania
