About this work

This comely damsel would certainly have appealed to Beverland! She is unmistakeably a woman of easy virtue. Her dress is open almost to her waist, revealing her breasts. With her coiffure, pearl earrings and pose, she forms a fine visual parallel with the ladies in the adjacent portraits.
