Title: [The Young Antonomasia]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: A woman with long wavy hair stands with her hands crossed against her chest, a veil hanging from her head that falls to the floor and which she holds in her hands. She is clad in a white dress with a stately collar. The image is occasioned by countess Trifaldi saying "Now, in process of time, the young Antonomasia attained the age of fourteen, with such perfection of beauty, that nature could not raise it a pitch higher, and, what is more, discretion itself was but a child to her."
