Not on view

One of forty prints from Rowlandson's "World in Miniature; Consisting of Groups of Figures, for the Illustration of Landscape Scenery."

Three scenes: at top, a pot mender sits on the ground at right outside of a cottage, two men and a woman talk over a gate, and children pet a donkey; at middle, a cart with bales of hay is pulled by two horses, as men and women climb the bales and rake fallen hay; below, a man sketches at right, seated next to two women, a man plays a flute at left, and a couple fishes alongside the river.
