"A lady sits in back view before a tall pier-glass, twisting a piece of drapery round her head. Two young women (right) hold up festoons of the immensely long drapery, the end of which trails across the floor and is worried by a small dog, shaved in the French manner. The glass is surmounted by an earl's coronet and decorated by triple ostrich plumes, suggesting that the lady, who wears a loose wrapper, may be Lady Jersey. The mirror is lit by two candles. Through a window (right) is a crescent moon, sinking into clouds. The second attendant wears a hat, suggesting that she is a milliner. Both are dressed in the short-waisted fashion of the day (cf. BMSat 8571). An elaborate bowl of flowers stands on a pedestal or small ornate table. A patterned carpet covers the floor."--British Museum online catalogue.
