Of Browning's full-length portraits of women in the dramas, the finest piece of work is the portrait of the happiest woman the play-Duchess of Juliers, no longer Duchess, but ever Our lady of dear Ravestein. Colombe is no incarnated idea but a complete human being, irreducible to a formula, whom we know the better because there is always in her more of exquisite womanhood to be discovered.
She, in her youth and beauty, has been happy during her year of idlesse as play-Duchess of Juliers; she is happier now as she abandons the court and, sure in her grave choice, turns with a light and joyous laugh to welcome the birthday gift of freedom and of love that has so unexpectedly come to her.
