About this work

While this print is actually all about the lady's coiffure, her jewellery is just as interesting. Her plain gold earrings differ greatly from the large gemstone-set variations popular earlier in the 18th century. Hanging from the strand of pearls is a portrait medallion with either a likeness of a loved one or possibly a cameo from classical antiquity.
