"Heading to engraved verses ... An elderly spinster kneels on the floor in a rough attic room; beside her is an open book: 'Sorrows of Werter' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 7054, &c.]. A man looks in through the thatch that forms the only roof; he overhears her praying for a husband, and offers himself: '"Will a Thatcher do for ye, Miss Wrinkle", quoth he, "Lord thy will be done! I'm content" replied she.'"--British Museum online catalogue

A stereotyped image of an old maid who wears a cap and sits very upright in a high-back chair as she reads a newspaper, The Morning Herald. She has a large, hooked nose and wears spectacles, her lips pursed with disapproval at what she reads. She has a cat in her lap and a parrot sits on the chair back; her feet rest on the fire grate before the stove on which sits a kettle. In the foreground on a carpet and a rug beside her are three dogs. On the table beside her are a box of snuff and back-scratcher. A folding screen forms the background. On the mantel are a pair of statuettes of a woman with a spear and a dog leaping at her side (presumably Diana) and a taxidermized cat in a glass case. The picture on the wall above these objects further amplify the subject
Alternative Title:

"A crowded interior. An old maid, grotesquely lean, spectacled, and hideous, sits in an arm-chair beside her fire (left) on which a concoction in a saucepan boils over, surrounded by fierce flames. This she stirs with a spoon but turns to the right to pore over the recipe, which is in her left hand. One bare foot with deformed toes rests on a stool beside which are a spike-toed high-heeled shoe and a stocking. A table beside her and the floor below it are crowded with bottles, jars, and medicaments, with a pestle and mortar and a lighted candle. The candle sets fire to her cap, and the flame reaches a little bird-cage hanging from the ceiling. A cat walks under her petticoats; a tiny lap-dog lies in a cushioned band-box lid at her feet. A second cat claws towards a mouse which runs up the pole of a perch on which stands, a draggled and angry cockatoo. A pug-dog also looks up at the bird. Against the wall is a stuffed cat in a glass case; above it is a burlesque picture of Susanna and the Elders. A neat curtained bed is on the right. The chimney-piece is decorated with Diana (burlesqued) urging on the hounds to seize Actæon. On it are three peacock's feathers, bottles, spills, a shell, a Chinese mandarin, &c. The fireplace is lined with pictorial Dutch tiles."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
