A further commission was ordered for Mistress Jade at the time of the previous portrait
Mistress Jade herself was asked how she wished to be depicted in this one.
On a moonlit balcony she stands in a long night-blue dress and holds a whip. Before going out to the garden to whip a slave who is chained to the tree branch, she pauses for a drink presented to her by her favourite slave-girl. Ivy runs round the walls and creeps up a human lamp-holder, totally encased in leather.

Another beautiful work! Evocative, atmospheric, sensual. We can almost feel the texture of the nylons on the slavegirl’s feet, and readily anticipate the rise of Mistress Jade’s lovely cleavage with her breath.

I enjoy the totality of it; the three subjects and the aura Jade exudes offers something for everyone.
