Arabella Fermor
by W. Sykes
n.d.
From The Rape of the Lock, edited by Geoffrey Tillotson (Methuen, 1940; 1954; reset 1962).
The inscription on the painting reads:
Mrs. Arabella Fermor
On her white breast a Sparkling Cross she wore,
Which Jews might kiss and Infidels adore.
This image is a faithful reproduction of an eighteenth-century painting and is believed to be in the public domain.
