Abstract:: "Social satire; the image is divided into four parts, with speech below each: a soberly dressed man bows before a lady in a bonnet who stands in front of a work table, on which is a paper labelled "The Desponding Maid", and asks him haughtily what his business is; they both sit, the man with his hand on his heart, and a book entitled "agreable Surprise" on the table behind, the lady looking more interested and enquiring if that is really his business; the lady smiles as the man kneels to kiss her hand, saying he is very pleasing, and a paper on the table behind reads "The Conquring Hero"; they embrace, the man knocking his chair back, in front of a table with biscuits, two glasses and a bottle labelled "Parfait Amour"."--British Museum online catalogue
