‘’Three-quarter length full-face portrait of a lady facing the spectator; she has fair hair arranged in ringlets surmounted by a string of pearls, she wears elaborate satin dress in gold, blue and orange/red, also ornamented with pearls. Her left hand rests on her hip and holds up her skirt in which are trapped some necklaces and gold coins. From her right hand she holds out two necklaces while some coins are dropping out. In the background on the left is a landscape under a cloudy sky; on the right is a tree.’’ (V&A)
