- Abstract:
- "Lady Archer sits in profile to the right before her dressing-table, applying rouge to her cheek with a brush. Her notoriously painted cheek is blotched with drink. She is dressed for driving, wearing a coat of masculine cut, and a skirt which is short enough to show stockings above laced half-boots. A high-crowned hat trimmed with feathers is poised on her hair; on her vulture-like nose glasses are perched, her profile being reflected in the draped mirror. Through an open window (left) appears her high phaeton."--British Museum online catalogue.
