Summary:
Print shows Lady Archer seated at her dressing-table, applying rouge to her cheek with a brush. Her painted cheek is blotched with drink. She is dressed for driving, wearing a coat of masculine cut, and a skirt which is short enough to show stockings above laced half-boots. A high-crowned hat trimmed with feathers is poised on her hair and on her hooked nose glasses are perched.
