A woman wearing a stiff bodice adorned with jewels, and holding a fan, stands before a curtain adorned with a hanging tassel. At left there is a landscape with two trees and a curved footpath. The print appeared in "A Second Book of Fifty Drawings by Aubrey Beardsley," London, 1899, where the text stated that it had been drawn in 1893 but was hitherto unpublished.
