Title

Miss Hedgehog.
Description
A short fat woman stands full face. Her dress bristles with detail, and her pyramid of hair instead of being smooth, as was usual, is closely frizzed. Her wide hooped petticoat shows her ankles. She wears gloves with tight bracelets and holds a closed fan in her left hand. 9 September 1777 Etching
