- Abstract
-
A very fat woman on the left of the print faces her very thin counterpart on the right, in a room where long shadows indicate the morning hour. Both ladies wear the style of hat known as a calash (introduced in 1765), that on the left nearly round and the one on the right angular and ribbed. The woman on the left sits in an armchair with one foot on a stool as cats play in the bonnet dropped near her chair, while the woman on the right holds a fan and sits erect on a folding stool, her cork rump protruding behind her and a dog playing on her broad brimmed hat
