label: Description
content: Verso: Figure sketch showing a young lady--possibly one of Thomas Cole daughters, Mary--as she walks up an incline. She lifts her forward leg, and in so doing, lifts the heavy drapery of her dress, revealing a view of her left foot. She holds a tassle or piece of fabric up to her chest with her left hand. She has curly locks of shoulder-length hair and is shown in left profile.
