An elegant English lady of high status moves gracefully to the right, draped in a dark cloak topped with a short shoulder cape. Her head is adorned with a dark hood, fastened neatly under her chin with a delicate bow. A fabric mask covers her face, and her hands are snugly placed in a large fur muff. A feathered fan dangles from her belt, adding a touch of sophistication., No. 12 from the series 'Ornatus Muliebris Anglicanus' (The Clothing of English Women).
