Image 1 of 6: Full-length image of a woman standing outside in front of a wooden doorway with an arched top, set into a wall made of narrow, uneven beige stones. Her body is angled slightly to the right and her head is turned down to the left. Her right hand is half-inside the jacket pocket and her right hand is down at the side, holding a dull brown fur muff.
She wears a black, damask-patterned , knee-length jacket with silver trim, two horizontal pockets, and large gold and pink cuffs. The jacket is buttoned closed from the neckline to the waist, and flares out below. The wide, semicircular neckline is trimmed with silver lace, and the front and pockets each have a single line of small, silver buttons set close together, silver cord applied in scallop shapes, and small silver embroideries in the shape of a fleur-de-lys. The sleeves of the jacket fold back to create large, round cuffs reaching to the elbow. The cuffs are covered in gold brocade with flowers and ribbon designs, and edged with pleated pink ribbon.
The jacket is worn with a full, ankle-length pale purple skirt. Both the skirt and jacket gently flare out from the waist because of the pocket hoops worn underneath. Her ivory colored left shoe peeps out from below the hem of the skirt. The outfit is accessorized with a black three-cornered hat trimmed with silver lace and a black cockade. A large pink ribbon bow is worn around her nack.
