Woman with recurrent, symmetrical patches of venous radicles on each cheek

Watercolour drawing of the face, shoulders and arm of a woman, showing symmetrical patches of dilated venous radicles upon either cheek. It was thought that the patches might be due to capillary embola. They occurred in a married woman aged 21, who had ulcerative endocarditis. She had continued pyrexia and subsequently developed an enlarged spleen and haematuria. Four months after the drawing was made she developed another attack of the eruption upon her face in the same place as the former one.
