Brunetta and Phillis, a scene from The Spectator, painted by John Gilbert, 1844. 'The fair Phillis, dressed in the rich brocade, awaits with impatience the entrance of her rival. Brunetta appears in a plain black silk mantua, but her train is supported by a negro girl, who is clothed in a piece of the identical brocade which Phillis prides herself upon. At this dreadful and unexpected sight Phillis faints away'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
