A pensive figurine represents this fascinating historical figure in her garden. The heavy architectural border combines an antique frame, modern frame sample, vintage Syroco sconce, and wood finials from a baby crib. These are backed by velvet overlaid with a chipboard lattice, while the candle holder becomes a topiary in the foreground, and a paper drink umbrella tops off a scene which hopes to convey its subject's dignity, fragility, privacy, and inner depth.
