Galerie des Modes, 47e Cahier, 1ere Figure
The Nymph of slight size, with the appearance of going out alone to winter herself in a public promenade, throws her eyes from side to side to find someone who could give her some new charm and prevent boredom from seizing her. She is in a hat à la Cherubin* and a morning dress with a white muff of Siberian sheeps' wool. (1785)

Notice de l'Almanach sous verre, 1786
* Cherubino is the flirtatious page of Count Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro.
