This print shows the drapery of a train emerging from the back of a mantua. It looks as if she is wearing a jacket bodice, but the circumference of the gold band around her waist is about the same as for the gold bands of her over-sleeves. Her Mantua arrives from a small drum-shaped cap affixed to the back of her coiffure. Two lappets fall from the cap.
