Physical description

1 print : lithograph

Lettering

Desire. This passion brings the eye-brows close together and forwards towards the eyes, which are more open than ordinary; the eyeball is enflamed, and places itself in the middle of the eye ... Lettering continues: "the nostrils rise up, and are contracted towards the eyes; the mouth half opens, and the spirits being in motion give a lively glowing colour. P.S."
