Her form, voice, and manner belonged to the period of transition from girlhood.

Her face was perfectly oval, her complexion more pale than fair.

The nose was faultless; the lips, slightly parted, were full and ripe, giving to the lines of the mouth warmth, tenderness, and trust; the eyes were blue and large, and shaded by drooping lids and long lashes; and, in harmony with all, a flood of golden hair, in the style permitted to Jewish brides, fell unconfined down her back to the pillion on which she sat.

The throat and neck had the downy softness sometimes seen which leaves the artist in doubt whether it is an effect of contour or color.

To these charms of feature and person were added others more indefinable--an air of purity which only the soul can impart, and of abstraction natural to such as think much of things impalpable.
