    "description": "This miniature is in a gold enamelled frame set with brilliants. In addition to his portraits, Samuel Shelley (1750-1808) also painted fancy figures and compositions from Shakespeare, Tasso, and other poets. This may be an idealized image of a poetess or author, suggested by the up-turned eyes and low cut gown.",
