Description
Illustration of a young woman in profile view displaying her hunting costume while outdoors on the edge of a forest. She wears a "Scottish green" long jacket trimmed with white, green, and tan Tattersall plaid at waist and sleeve hems, over a matching plaid skirt which reaches just below her knees. The jacket has tassels trimming at the collar and hanging from the waist. She is accessorized with tan gloves, a close-fitting green cap with two feathers, a leather shoulder bag, tan knee-high gaiters over low heeled shoes, and she carries a shotgun. A brown strap crosses her shoulder, perhaps carrying the gun. A brown and white rabbit slowly moves away from her and rather than shooting the rabbit, it appears the young woman encourages it to run back into the forest. Beneath the illustration is the phrase "Hunting Costume in Scottish green twill."
