Rural life [graphic].24. February, 1783.engA fashionably dressed young woman holding a basket on her left arm watches pensively a hen, a rooster, and four chickens feeding at her feet in front of a small building with clapboard walls and an overhang above a Dutch door, probably a chicken coop. To her left, in the background, is a vast lawn bordered by flowers near the coop and by large trees, with a cottage behind, at the other end. The verse printed on both side of the title below the design begins, "To Operas, Masquerades, and Plays, / This Cottage Maid's a Stranger;"Title from item.
