Asenath with the White Flower
A dark-haired woman holds a single white flower beside a long trailing veil. Blue patterned fabric, warm drapery and delicate jewellery distinguish the slim figure against the pale background. The caption names Asenath, the heroine of the Egyptian love story included later in the book.
