label: Description
content: A woman is depicted in what appears to be Venetian commedia dell'arte costume, wearing a long dress with an elaborate collar and a pattern incorporating swirling forms. She is shown combing her long wavy hair, below which appears to be a large, round hat. She faces a square stool on the left with a framed picture showing a face on top and holds a round object in her lap. A dog sits on the floor beneath her, and an object that looks like a vase or some other kind of vessel appears at left. Rays of light are emanating from the top left corner; the woman faces left and looks upwards towards them.
