This image, brilliantly full of movement, shows a Korean woman buffeted by the cold winds of November. It may reflect Jacoulet's feelings as his subscriber list continued to shrink. Working with only one printer, he was preoccupied with producing the next seven works, prior to a tour of the world with his little adopted daughter, Therese. The tour was supposed to include his next group of works on paper, but unfortunately Jacoulet didn't live long enough to complete this goal. From this point on, rarely did Jacoulet print more than eighty or so of each design.
