The left arm is raised, and with the left hand she presses a lotus lily to her breast.

The body is easy and well formed, the figure indicates youth, the face is open, smiling, pleasant, and somewhat plebeian.

To modify the unwieldy mass of the headdress was beyond the skill of the artist, but the bust is delicately and elegantly modelled, the clinging garment gives discreet emphasis to the shape, and the action of the hand which holds the flower is rendered with grace and naturalness.

All these are portraits, and as the sitters were not persons of august rank, we may conclude that they did not employ the most fashionable artists.

They, doubtless, had recourse to more unpretending craftsmen; but that such craftsmen were thus highly trained in knowledge of form and accuracy of execution, shows how strongly even the artisan was influenced by the great school of sculpture which then flourished at Thebes.
This influence becomes even more apparent when we study the knick-knacks of the toilet table, and such small objects as, properly speaking, come under the head of furniture.
