‘Dead Ringer’

As Elizabeth Bennett famously said in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ …

Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion

… and that opinion is that this young lady is indeed most reminiscent of Jane Austen as depicted by her sister Cassandra! Pale with a delicate complexion and neatly dressed in white, her brown curls peep out from under her frilled cap.

Painted in watercolour on card, the portrait resides in a gold-plated frame, the reverse glazed to show plaited brown hair.
