Painting portrait of a woman wearing a dress with a white collar under a ivory color shawl with a blue and red paisley pattern on the edges. She wears a bonnet adorned with large ostrich feathers revealing curls of hair styled Spanish. The headdress and collar are adorned by the so-called "sewing" embroidery on calico or muslin.The portrait is identified as Henriette CORNELLE 1737, which would mean that the lady would be 84 years old. So, or the painter either generously flattered her client or, more likely, the portrait was dedicated to Mrs CORNELLE.
