This hand-colored etching by Pierre Gleich depicts a fashionable woman in a "Circassian" dress, a popular style in the late 18th century. The intricate details of the dress, the elaborate feathered hat, and the presence of a small dog all contribute to the sense of elegance and refined taste associated with the period. The artwork is part of a larger series of fashion plates that document the evolving styles of the time. The image's small size (177 mm x 110 mm) suggests it was intended for personal use or for inclusion in a larger publication.
