A milk sop [graphic]Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827, printmaker[not before 15 December 1811]eng"A scene in a College cloister, indicated by a wall and Gothic vaulting. A pretty and buxom girl carrying milk-pails suspended from a yoke is embraced by a young man in cap, gown, and bands who leans towards her through a casement window. She disregards her milk-pails; one, containing two infants, tilts upwards, the other, full of milk, correspondingly descends and a spaniel greedily laps the milk. On the extreme left a lean elderly parson, hideous and grotesque, similarly dressed, watches intently."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier stateTitle etched below image.Reissue; imprint has been completely burnished from plate.Publication information inferred from earlier state with the imprint "Pubd.
