Original 19th-century British steel engraving of a young woman at a lattice window, after Edmund Thomas Parris (1793–1873), engraved by H. Cook. Three-quarter length, the sitter turned slightly to the left, wearing a voluminous gown with richly shaded sleeves and a broad lace collar, one hand resting on the window frame, the other holding a letter, her hair dressed in ringlets. Finely worked in mixed engraving and stipple, printed in warm black on wove paper. Inscribed in the lower margin “Drawn by E. T. Parris” and “Engraved by H. Cook” (title hidden by the mount, likely from one of the popular Victorian “female portrait” series issued in the 1830s–1840s). Presented in an ornate period-style copper-bronze painted moulded frame with rope-twist and leaf borders, cream mount, and glazing.
