47. A young Lady, of fair complexion, and light hair, attired
in black silk, and having a hood of the same material on her
head. She is represented in a profile view, seated, reading a
letter, which she holds with both hands. A table, covered with
a red cloth, is placed before her, on which are a gold salver and
ewer, and a silver candlestick. In addition to the exquisite
style of painting displayed in this little picture, there is a senti-
ment, and pathos of expression, worthy the pencil of Guido.
