"An elderly and ugly woman sings to a guitar. She sits, directed to the left, on a stool on which is a tasselled cushion. She wears the flowing hair, feathered turban with brush aigrette, and the high-waisted dress of 1795. Her fingers are sharply pointed and her angular knees are defined by her dress. The background is a wall with a panelled dado and striped wall-paper common in prints of about this date."--British Museum online catalogue.
