Ginevra Donati. She was an only child-her name Ginevra-The joy, the pride of an indulgent Father; And in her fifteenth year became a bride, Marrying and only son, Francesco Doria...Within that chest had she concealed herself, Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the happy, When a spring-look that lay in ambush there, Fastened her down for ever. Vide Roger's "Italy".
Painted by John Porter. Engraved by John Porter.
