Grace, Beauty, breathe upon her;
Music, haunt thou about her tongue;

And angel bands have crowned her.

BARRY CORNWALL.

One Female Figure.

This simple, yet pretty tableau represents a young maiden dressed in
bridal costume, kneeling in prayer in her chamber, preparatory to her
descent to the room below, where she is to enter into the holy bonds

Costume consists of a white dress, low in the neck, and ornamented

hands raised and placed together in front of the face, the head
slightly thrown back, the eyes closed, and the countenance expressing
