Her head is turned so that she looks to the viewer over her right shoulder. In her hands she is holding a bowl of fruit and flowers high above her head. Her clothing is a Renaissance-style gold-coloured gown with long sleeves and slashing at the shoulders. She wears a gem-set gold tiara and earrings, and a string of pearls. In the background there is drapery and a column to the left, and a mountain landscape through a window to the right.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Moglia, Luigi","id":"A22450"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":"signed"}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"mosaic glass","id":"AAT260731"},{"text":"gilt wood","id":"x35094"}],"techniques":[{"text":"micromosaic","id":"x42499"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Glass micromosaic with gilded wood frame","categories":[{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2009CC6158"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES399746"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"72","id":"THES49722"},"free":"","case":"CA003","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"frame","id":""}],[{"text":"picture","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Rome","id":"x29106"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1830","earliest":"1825-01-01","latest":"1834-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"37","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"Published catalogue dimensions"},{"dimension":"Width","value":"30.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"Published catalogue dimensions"},{"dimension":"Height","value":"35.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"unframed","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"29.8","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"unframed","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Measured 24/05/24 IW","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"L[uigi].MOGLIA.F[ecit].","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"signer on lower right of mosaic"}],"objectHistory":"This picture was hung in the home of Arthur Gilbert and his wife, Rosalinde, until they discovered an identical version by Luigi Moglia.
