Abstract: "The interior of a dairy. A young undergraduate (left) stoops low, cap in hand, to admire the shoes of a pretty young woman, who pulls up her petticoats to display her legs. Her breast is uncovered. Beside her is a slightly damaged pitcher. A cat drinks from a bowl of cream on a shelf. Her back is towards a casement window through which an elderly man peers angrily."--British Museum online catalogue
