"A thin elderly woman stands full-face, looking sourly to the left, holding out her right arm, from which an enormous fan points to the ground. Her left arm is akimbo. She wears a short-waisted dress with a separate train; her drooping breasts are defined by drapery, her thin arms by tight-fitting sleeves; her neck is heavily swathed. Her hair falls down her back from a twisted turban (see BMSat 8755) decorated with a group of erect ostrich-feathers, and a huge brush-aigrette. She wears large earrings, and an oval medallion is suspended from her neck on a heavy chain."--British Museum online catalogue
