Her hairdo, reminiscent of the 16th century style worn by Mary, Queen of Scots, adds an air of elegance to her appearance. The intricate chignon at the back of her head is beautifully adorned with delicate accessories that reflect the ridiculous taste and absurdity often associated with ladies' fashion during the reigns of Charles I and II, as well as James II. The artist has skillfully captured every detail of this girl's hairdo, showcasing its timeless beauty.
