Her face lacks detail, just a few bare guidelines and the outline of a nose, eyebrows, and mouth. Greater detail has been lavished on her costume, which appears Van Dyck-like in style, including a puffed and scalloped sleeve, decorated with rows of pearls. She is surrounded by a silk or gauze drape. Inscribed below, 'Blew Sattin & yell [crossed through] Red Gauze'. Made by Joseph Wright of Derby (1734 - 1797).

![Painting showing a view from within the Colosseum in Rome. In the foreground, two male figures appear to discuss the structure, dwarfed by its monumental scale. To the right of them, a large slope covered in vegetation, leads into a dark vaulted space. This area had suffered extensive damage in the past and evidence of its restoration, including the addition of a canvas infill, is slightly visible. Beyond the figures, the main structure of the Colosseum is visible, illuminated by warm sunlight. Inscribed to recto, lower right 'I. W. P. 178[?]'. Painted by Joseph Wright of Derby (1734 - 1797). Oil on canvas in gilded frame.](https://derbymuseumstrailmaker.com/images/media/local/60574.jpeg "The Colosseum, Rome - Daylight")
