The dress has a very high waist, the chemise has puff sleeves, and the flat straw hat decorated with ribbons and bows is worn above a black velvet toquet. Her long pigtails reveal her to be unmarried. Handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from Costumes of Various Countries, Costumes de Divers Pays, Paris, 1827.
