A woman (left) stands full-face behind her chair pouring out a glass of 'Hollands'. On the right is a dressing-table. L. & W., No. 127 (where the title continues, 'of an Impure's Face')."--British Museum online catalogue

A pretty young maid seated at a table is flirting with a footman leaning with his arms on the back of her chair. She is petting a cat; two kittens are playing in a basket on another chair. In the background, another maid, busy mending a garment, looks at them with disapproval and jealousy. Behind on the wall hangs a shelf with plates, a warming pan and a placard (playbill?) entitled, "The Rival Maids."
