- Abstract
-
Wearing a fanciful approximation of classical garb, Andromache and Hector embrace each other in a sad farewell. Standing behind Hector on the right, a tearful man in 18th century dress holds a pike and a basket containing bottles. Behind Andromache on the left, a grim faced and tearful woman holds a naked baby who reaches for Hector's hand. Above the woman is a signpost on which is printed "A single-horse chaise" and further inscribed "one bird in hand's worth two in the bush, Mary Security", a phrase also illustrated by a hand holding a fat bird and two birds on a twig
