- Abstract
-
"Two women (right), one old and ugly, the other young and pretty, walk arm-in-arm, turning their backs on the river but looking over their shoulders at naked young men, three on the bank, one in the water. The old woman, with an expression of prurient anger, screams: "Oh shame on the Nasty fellows do Sophia tell me when we are past them." The younger is frankly interested. Both hold the small flattened parasols of the period. A dog walks with them. Trees (right) and the wide river (left) form a background; on the water is a boat in which (tiny) women hold up parasols ostensibly as screens, but peep round them."--British Museum online catalogue
