- Abstract
-
"A young officer in smart regimentals clasps the hand of a pretty girl who leans from the window of a rustic cottage; he points as if to make an assignation. On the wall is a placard: 'The Wolf and the Kidd'. An old man (right) trudges off to the right carrying a bundle. By the cottage is a pump at which are two old women, while a third looks from her cottage door on the extreme left; all register eager spite. A young woman walks off carrying a pitcher on her head. A dog barks."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
