- Abstract
-
"A woman stands at a wash-tub, turning to scream at her husband who sits in glum silence plying the bellows at a fire emitting smoke which obscures much of the room. An infant in a cradle (right) yells, as does another seated on the ground and brandishing a rattle. A cat miaows. Linen hangs on a line, and in the background a second woman stands at a wash-tub."--British Museum online catalogue
