She wears a quilted petticoat and high-heeled shoes. On the right. is a cobbler's bench with tools; lasts and tools are in a rack on the wall; a wicker cage in which is a bird hangs from a hook. A print of a leg of mutton and turnips is pinned to the wall. Under the cracked casement window (l.) is a wooden chair. Beneath the title is engraved:

[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. ![]() |
