- Abstract
-
"A domestic scene; a grotesque elderly woman sits at her toilette, pointing to a mirror on which a mobcap hangs, and looking upwards as a wig decorated with ribbons and a feather is about to be placed on her head by a young maid standing at right, who is momentarily distracted by the embraces of a footman; at left, an elderly man standing and looking inside a cupboard full of shelves of pottery; a cat and dog in front of a fire at left, a dog on a chair opposite the old woman."--British Museum online catalogue
