The contour of the face is most graceful and the features highly refined, while the delineation of the eyes is extremely realistic, the hazel-brown of the pupils and the red of the corners making them almost lifelike. The nose is sharp and the lower lip a little thick. The treatment of the hair at the temples and the nape of the neck in fine curls is most charming. The jewellery also exhibits equally good taste, the pearl tiara with a fine sapphire ornament in the middle being extremely effective.
