- Abstract
-
"A young woman stands over a wash-tub raising her hands in astonishment to see a little man standing waist-deep in the soapsuds, saying with a smile: "here am I!! Betty!! how are you off for Soap." She answers: "Lord!! Mr Vansittart!!--who could have thought of seeing You in the Washing Tub." She wears a mob-cap and pattens. Two tubs stand on a bench, with a basket beside it on which lies a pair of breeches. Through a window (right) are seen clothes on a line, and trees. A fire burns under a large copper (left) from which rise clouds of steam. Against the wall are coal-box, shovel, and broom."--British Museum online catalogue
