Description |
English: A sequel to BMSat 6148, 6149, 6150. The interior of a parlour. The husband (right) leans on a table looking towards a meretricious-looking maidservant (left) who has just brought in two children: a little girl whom she holds in her arms, and an older boy who drags across the floor a broken guitar which is harnessed to a toy horse. The maid looks alluringly at her master, a paper hangs from her pocket inscribed "The Willing Maid". The lady, who appears to be ill, is seated by a circular table, leaning her head on her hand. She looks with an expression of distress towards her husband. On the table is an open book inscribed "Inconstancy A Poem - Eternal Love Let no Man swear", and medicine phials, one labelled "A Composing Draught". A dog licks her hand. A black servant stands by the table holding two other phials; he watches the maidservant with a scowl.

[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. ![]() |
