I should say that the highbreeding of the face and air was more conspicuous than the beauty; the neck and hands exquisite. Both these are Vandyke's. A third picture represents her about the time of her second marriage : the expression wholly changed — cold, sad, faded, but pretty still: one might fancy her contemplating,...
Էջ 144 - Davenant styles her, very beautifully, " The richeyed darling of a monarch's breast." Lord Holland, in the description he sent from Paris, dwells on the charm of her eyes, her smile, and her graceful figure, though he admits her to be rather petite; and if the poet and the courtier be distrusted, we have the authority of the puritanic Sir Symond d'Ewes, who allows the influence of her " excellent and sparkling black eyes.
