The British Museum impression has a pinkish ground and Rumpf records the same fact about the one reproduced by him. He also mentions impressions in which gold dust has been mixed with the mica, but this peculiarity does not seem to occur in any of the total of six impressions of the subject in any state which have been seen by the writers, or descriptions of which have been read by them. In the impression exhibited, the face and hands have been tinted pale pink; the coloring of the costume is the same as that in the preceding number.
