拍品专文

The Art Journal reported on this picture as follows: 'Three figures enter into this composition - two ladies and the astrologer - the last being on the right reading the star of one of the ladies, who in alarm at what she hears, grasps the arm of her companion. In every part of this picture the most elaborate execution prevails: of the features and the hands it may be said that they are too much refined upon. The draperies and accessories all share the same care. The narrative is clear and pointed'.
