- Abstract:
- "Outside a thatched cottage, partly visible on the left, Paris, a loutish peasant, hands the apple to an old harridan holding a fan and wearing a very wide hoop. Cupid, a hideous boy, holding a bow, is partly concealed by her petticoat. Juno (?), a hideous hag, strides towards them, brandishing a bottle. Minerva (?) in a soldier's coat and grenadier's cap, inscribed "J.R." [?Juno Regina], walks away to the right. looking over her shoulder; one fist is clenched, she carries a bottle and is smoking a pipe. One sheep (left) stands behind Paris who is holding a crook. A basket and his hat are on the ground. In the foreground his dog chases the peacock and the owl. Two doves fly over the head of Venus. Two broadsides are pasted on the cottage wall: one headed "Gods . . ." the other, "Thos the Wood Lous" (?). Mountains are indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue
