The artist has seldom created a more beautiful type than the lady in a white flowing night-dress, leaning over a balcony, encircled by blossoms and all kinds of greenery. The expression of the head is full of intense passion, although there is a certain dreamy vagueness in the eyes, waiting for the dawn." 9^ in, by 6|^ in.
