Beautiful, detailed steel engraving from the picture by Charles Lewis Muller.
Here, Mr. Muller has evidently selected a woman of Eastern descent. The face expresses a kind of dreamy indolence, but the whole composition suggests little more than a richly attired female, of a peculiar national type, seated listlessly in a luxuriously furnished apartment.
Printed on heavyweight ivory/cream stock. Reverse side is blank.
