- Abstract:
- "A young lady at confession; on the right, a monk leans on his elbow, right hand resting on a Bible, lecherously looking sideways at a young girl beside him, who stands holding a rosary, looking down sorrowfully with tears running down her cheek, she wears a veil on her head. On the ledge are various symbols of mortality, and a paper, lettered "...From fornication and all other deadly Sins Libera nos Domine! 'Tis better to Marry than burn...", to the far left stands an altar; after Millar; scratched-letter state."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state
