Title
The fashionable shoe-maker trying on an Italian slipper
Description
English: A companion print to BMSat 6766. A young woman wearing hat, lace-trimmed mantle, and gloves sits, her right leg resting on the knee of a young man (left) who kneels on one knee placing a slipper on her foot. He is dressed in the height of the fashion in a cutaway coat and a high swathed neckcloth; she looks coyly at him, he gazes ardently at her. On the floor is the other slipper and the shoe, unbuckled, which she has taken off. Her muff is on a table beside her (right).


The room is fashionably furnished. Striped curtains drape the window (left) through which trees are seen. The wall is papered and the floor carpeted. An elaborate chimney-piece partly visible (right) is decorated by an urn flanked by a pyramid on a rectangular base. 1784

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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
