A young woman stands in a garden, dressed fashionably in a high-waisted white gown, a layered cape and large feathered hat. She carries a folded fan and gestures to the right towards the landscape. A carriage appears in the left background, seen through an arch. The print was created as a companion to "Constancy" (2002.541.16).
