| Caption | Sadness. This passion is represented by an old maid, who is rendered completely miserable by the death of her favourite lapdog. A 'serious footman' is gravely contemplating the body of a deceased puppy, extended on a velvet cushion, while an antiquated spinster, his mistress, who is smartened up with bows and ribbons, is in the depths of despair. Artist/Etcher: Woodward, G. M. (George Moutard), approximately 1760-1809; Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827. Date: January 21, 1800. Sourced from Digital Commonwealth website. |
