My Rest, My Peace of Mind Has Fled, Valentine
A hand-colored valentine on embossed paper. A woman in a pink gown with a dark bodice stands before a gilded, ornamental frame of yellow drapery, looking toward a balustraded terrace and water. Handwritten verses curl around the central scene, with flourishes and floral motifs.
