"A woman, elderly, short, and broad, with swarthy Jewish features, stands, her head turned in profile to the right, holding a goose perched on her forefinger. In her right hand is the end of a ribbon attached to its leg. She says: "Say little foolish Fluttering thing". Her head is covered with dark curls in which are flowers and a ribbon. She wears a short-waisted dress, with the slashed and vandyked bodice associated with the stage or (in caricature) with Spain. The background, with cast shadows, suggests the stage."--British Museum online catalogue
