Pastime in Portugal, or, A visit to the nunnerys [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[1 April 1811]eng"Three pretty young nuns stand behind a widely spaced iron grille; one of them sells netted silk purses to a handsome young British officer in full regimentals who gazes fixedly at them. Two return his gaze. Behind and on the extreme left, an ugly old officer stares at them through a lorgnette. Beside the three nuns is a fourth, old, ugly, sour, and duenna-like. The figures are half length or three-quarter length. Behind the nuns is a background of Gothic vaulting with a crucifix."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Plate numbered "64" in upper right corner.Temporary local subject terms: Nuns -- Crucifix -- Lorgnette.
