An ugly man (left) kneels (on a spotted handkerchief) at the feet of a plain old maid seated on an upright chair; he holds her left hand, his right is on his breast. She holds up her fan in a way more encouraging than coy. Both grin broadly. A patterned carpet and plain wall complete the design BM 9450
From the collection of Dr. C.S. Warren, Descendant of Dr. Joseph Warren of Bunker Hill fame.
