Description

Bright, fresh, original hand-colouring. A pretty young woman wearing loose decolletée robes, reclines on a sofa, rejecting the advances of her handsome young lover, who clasps her imploringly by the shoulder as she thrusts him away. She glances away from him, clutching a handkerchief, looking mournfully at the cracked hand mirror on her lap. On a small round table in the foreground is a round golden bowl. Not in BM Cat.
