A Foolish Woman |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: A courtesan seated on a curiously shaped wooden seat placed against a wall at right angles to the door of a house. She sits directed to the left, her legs crossed, one hand raised as if beckoning. She is similar in dress and appearance to BMSat 5823. The seat is ornamented with a satyr's mask and a carved vine-branch with clusters of grapes. Beneath the title is engraved, "For she sitteth at the door of her house on a seat, in the high places of the city: To call passengers who go right on their ways. Proverbs, Ch. IX. vers 14 & 15." 2 September 1780

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
