Inscriptions Inscribed on verso in the artist's hand is the relevant passage from A Sentimental Journey and signed W.P.F. 1853: "The beautiful Grisette look'd sometimes at the gloves, then sideways to the window, then at the gloves - and then at me. I was not disposed to break silence - I follow'd her example: so I look'd at the gloves, then to the window, then at the gloves, and then at her - and so on alternately. I found I lost considerably in every attack."
