"Three elderly hags are dressed as young girls, and leeringly imitate a girlish simper. One (perhaps the schoolmistress) sits on a chair under a tree (right) reading to the others, from 'Juvenel [sic] a Novel'. In her left hand is another book, 'An Ode to Beauty'. Beside her sits a dog clipped in the French manner. The others stand facing her, one closing her eyes and clasping her hands, the other, who holds a fan, leers at her companion. These two wear nosegays. All have high-waisted dress with sashes. The reader wears a straw hat tied on with a scarf. Behind her is a tree on whose trunk letters are carved: 'W' and 'I C' (for the artists). In the background (left) is the corner of a house inscribed 'Young Ladies Genteely Boarded & Educated' by A Bull
