Description	A woman dressed as Michelle de Vitry. The woman wears a traditional black and white nun's habit. The outer robe (possibly a cloak) and head covering are black lined with white fur. Her dress is also black and edged with white fur at the sleeves. A white wimple covers her head, chest, and neck. She wears a ring on her left middle finger, and the tip of her pointed, black, right shoe is visible beneath her skirts. The donor has written "65" in pencil in the upper right-hand corner and "February 1837.-" in pen beneath the words "Baroness de Frainel". The "February" and "1837" of the ink inscription have been circled in pencil, as has the printed "1837" in the left right-hand corner. Michelle de Vitry was the spouse of Jean Juvenel des Ursins (d.1431), Chancellor of France. The plate is based on her funeral monument stature in Notre-Dame, Chapel Saint Guillaume.
Notes	Written on frame is "Michelle de Vitry c. 1400". Written on back is "Feb. 1837". Probably based on a plate from Galerie française de femmes célèbres par leurs talens, leur rang ou leur beauté, published in Paris in 1827 - http://costumes.org/HISTORY/greatwomen/10340_04.jpg
