- Abstract
-
"The room of an impecunious family. The father, probably an actor, writer, or artist, sits on a three-legged stool, with a little girl on each knee, one flourishes a whip and tugs at his shirt frill, the other pulls his pigtail. A younger child rides astride his leg, and a little boy tugs at his coat-tail; both flourish whips. An infant in a wicker cradle screams. The man turns up his eyes in melancholy resignation. His stockings are ungartered, and his dress suffers from the too-active children. Behind is an open fire, with a kettle beside it. The mother, neatly dressed, cooks, holding a frying-pan on a grid attached to the grate. A small round table (right) is laid for a scanty meal. From a line across the room hangs neatly folded washing. The chimneypiece is covered with medicine-bottles, &c, among which is a bust of a man. Above is an unframed picture of Diogenes in his tub. On the wall are also a small (broken) mirror, and a print of a man bent under a towering pile of sacks. On the boarded floor is an open book: a picture of a sow with many sucking-pigs faces: All the pretty little ones and their Dam Oh! Oh! Oh."--British Museum online catalogue
