Woman in 18th Century Gown

A woman wears a pale pink dress with a fitted bodice with two gold fobs hanging over the underskirt at the sides, and a yellow, buttoned stomacher or waistcoat beneath. The cuffs are banded with baby blue and yellow, and have a narrow lace ruffle at the cuffs. Her overskirt is pink and turned back to reveal the pale blue lining and blue underskirt. Her shoes are pink to match the dress. She wears a cross around her neck on a black ribbon or cord, and a white fichu around her shoulders. The woman’s large, dark blue hat has a group of large orange bows, a plume of white feathers, and a rear veil. In her right hand she holds a small, round golden object. In her left hand is a walking stick with a pink tassel.
