A handsome young cook in her mistress's hat and gown, worn over her own cap and petticoat, with her breast bared, postures in the kitchen before a hanging mirror, holding out a fan. Three amused girls (? a maidservant with two young daughters of the house) watch her from behind a door (right). On the floor is a broken dish with a fish on which a cat has pounced. A floured Pudding is ready for cooking."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier version of the design.
