"Two designs on one plate. Top (BMSat 6868): A young woman lies under a tree asleep, partly supported by a small beer barrel; a rake is beside her. Next her a young man sits up yawning and stretching. A dog sits beside them; in the distance are sheep. Below (BMSat 6869): A young woman (right) lies full length on a sofa; next her in the opposite corner of the sofa is an elderly man in regimentals, also asleep. The feet of both rest on a chair (left). A cat sleeps on the floor."--British Museum online catalogue.
