Label TextSet in an interior, this delicate rendering a woman in a white evening frock, with lace bodice and brown sleeve, displays the qualities that established Thorne as a society portraitist. There is an air of melancholy about the figure, as she stares out at the viewer, seated on a couch, her arm wrapped around a large, round white pillow.
