Abstract: "A mother and daughter face each other in profile. An elderly woman, heavily moustached and bearded, sits at a small rectangular table, her right forefinger accusingly pointed at a young woman (closely resembling her), apparently pregnant, who stands holding a fan with an expression of wary apprehension. Beneath the table is a large crow, one foot raised, turning its head towards the elder woman to say "Oh! too bad". A patterned carpet, plain wall, and door (right) form a background."--British Museum online catalogue
