You can divine as much from the two portraits in the back of the widely sold transcript of the trial. Maria Bodine, despite being noticeably ill in all the descriptions of her, looks like a fairy-tale princess in her illustrated depiction. She is wearing a white dress, strolling on the hills, overlooking a literal castle. There is also a portrait of Madame Restell, in which Restell is scowling, wearing a shawl made of the wings of a demon, who is greedily devouring a baby. That’s a pretty stark contrast.
