La Belle Assemblée (1809)

Above Right: Detail of head [image provided by Nancy Saputo from her collection] The lady wears an interesting headdress that seems to combine a turban and a tiara. Her big hoop earrings are very modern in appearance. The heavy cross on the beaded chain is likely inspired by the interest in the Gothic period. The lady can image she is a heroine in a Gothic novel set in medieval times.
