A Beauty in the Morning Mist - Wonderful portrait of a young beauty waking in the early morning after a long night of entertaining. This classic Eisen portrait shows the young girl under a heavy plaid quilt, looking a bit disheveled after a late evening. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun adorned with a few hairpins, including a metal one decorated with a tiny cuckoo flying past a crescent moon. Beautiful color and detail in this charming image.
