- Abstract
-
"A young woman, elaborately dressed, sits with downcast eyes in profile to the left at a table on which are a book and rosary. On her right sits, on a striped settee, a 'priest' wearing a skull-cap; a hat and cloak on a chair and stool show that he is a visitor. He holds a book, looking towards the 'nun' with a smile. The room is fashionably furnished with two sash-windows, in one of which stands a large vase of flowers. Between them is an oval picture of (?) the Temptation of St. Anthony. Beneath the title: 'At Twelve, I began to think of a Man, At Thirteen, I Sighed for a Man, At Fourteen I was Violently in Love with a Man, At Fifteen I run away with a Man. But he was a Very Pretty Man - therefore I hope youll Pardon me Sir.'"--British Museum online catalogue
