Not on view

Based on an early design by Rowlandson, this mezzotint represents a young woman dressed in a quilted skirt and mob cap, seated on a sofa with her legs crossed and hands clasped. She turns to look at a parrot perched on the back of the sofa, its cage above. At left is an urn from which hot water pours into an open teapot.
