- Abstract
-
"In a cottage room a sick man lies in a ramshackle uncurtained bed, on the foot of which sits a woman. Four children stand beside her, two younger ones are by the fire, at which a woman is cooking. Another woman stands at a wash-tub. Sheets hang on a line. A dog puts his paws on the bed. Over the fireplace are plates and a gun; a bird is in a wicker cage. The man's coat and top-boots are on a chair beside him."--British Museum online catalogue
