DescriptionThe lower margin reads: "D'Agar pinx.t/ I. Faber fecit/ Beauty, how sweet thy unaffected Grace,/ Where modest Sense glows thro' y.e meaning Face!/ Where the pleas'd Eye darts forth a Vestals Fire,/ And undesiring kindles up Desire!/ The wanton Glance may short-liv'd Passion move;/ But awefull Virtue fixes solid Love./ Sold by I. Faber at y.e Golden Head, Bloomsburg Sq"ProvenanceBefore 1964, Pottinger-Walters Antiques (Goshen, IN); 1964-present, purchased by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (Williamsburg, VA).
