Description
A woman in ladies' riding habit for October 1815. She stands in profile and wears a light blue hat with feathers on it. She wears a full length, light blue dress with a small train and a high, white, ruffled collar. The bodice is covered in ruffles and fabric flowers as are the cuffs. The dress has an empire waist and large ruffles protrude from the back at the waist to give the illusion of a cropped jacket. She wears light yellow gloves and holds a riding crop in her right hand. Her shoes are light blue and adorned with two ruffles.
