"A young lady, holding a portrait miniature of a gentleman in her left hand, in lace-bordered dress with blue bodice and off-the-shoulder white sleeves entwined with pearls, large drop-pearl earrings, lace bandeau and flowing gauze veil in her long curling auburn hair, her left arm leaning on a green covered ledge indistinctly signed and dated '[Heinsiu]s pinx: 1790' (mid-right)

Juliane Schmieglitz-Otten (Miniaturen der Revolutionszeit 1789-1799 aus der Sammlung Tansey, Munich, 2005, p. 200) points out that Heinsius worked from the 1790s until his death in Orleans. For two other signed miniatures of ladies by Heinsius, see M. Friesen (ed.), Französische Miniaturen 1770-1880, Darmstadt, 2001, figs. 160-161, p. 409."
