Abstract:
Tall, elegantly dressed elderly gentleman stands in center of a room looking with disgust over his left shoulder at large round tripod table on which lies a crying infant in a straw basket. He holds a raised cane in his right hand and a tricorne hat under his right arm. From his left side hangs a tasselled sword. The baby's basket has a ribbon inscribed 'To Simon Spindleshanks, Esq.' Behind his master, to the left, stands a grinning manservant who is showing delight in what he has brought about. In the background are beautifully panelled walls hung with two paintings which amplify the subject of the print. The one on the left depicts a violent storm; in the one on the right Delilah with Samson asleep at her knee, beckons soldiers to enter the room
