She sings with her head turned towards the spectator, her features twisted, eyes closed. Her hair hangs upon her round shoulders; the curves of her figure and a small waist indicate an attempt to conceal the ravages of time. The line is shaky throughout, to give an impression (especially in the music-book) of an aged, quavering voice."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title etched below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Possibly by Gillray.
