An etching of a young woman, standing half left, in an ample silk dress with a laced corsage, deep lace-fringed collar, and lace on the shoulders and the turned-up cuffs. Her dark curls fall to her shoulder, with a rose above her left ear; her right hand holds a bunch of tulips and her left hand the folds of her dress. This is the 2nd state of 2, with finished left hand and background of house, walled garden and coach & six in lane, and the addition of a fan hanging at her right side. Verse below.
