This well-worn and aged portrait of a beautiful Victorian lady is titled The Passion Flower. The illustration was drawn by D. M. Clise and engraved by Hollis.
Here is a cleaned up clip art version of the beautiful lady.
I scanned the original page from the July 1842 issue of The New Monthly Belle Assemblee.
