Description |
A woman wears a dress with a high neckline; her corsage and handkerchief suggest that she may be at a social function.. She
slouches against a wall between and door and a picture frame, and her nearly closed eyes and open mouth suggest that lack
of intelligence accompany her manners and money.

Notes |
Text: Politeness and dress, in this gay world of ours, / Are considered the tests of gentility; / But we commonly find a great
lack mind, / Where the're found with so much amiability.
