A lady, her head in profile to the left, looks sideways at her reflection in a large wall-mirror. She wears a loose high-waisted dress, giving the appearance of pregnancy, her figure defined under its folds. Locks of hair are twined in, and escape from, a turbanlike cap ornamented with four erect ostrich feathers. In her right hand is a fan. On the floor is a patterned carpet. 22 may 1795
