A young lady dressed in a yellow satin jacket, bordered with ermine, and a white petticoat trimmed with black velvet, is in the act of washing her hands in a basin, into which a maid-servant is pouring water from a ewer. On the right are a low stool, and a table covered with a red cloth, on which arc a candlestick, a looking-glass, and other objects. In the background, a bed and a chair.

Canvas, 2.5 in. by 21 in.

From the Collection of Colonel Hankey, Beaulieu, Hastings.

In the centre, two live hens, and various dead birds placed on a large table; suspended from an iron circle are two other dead birds and two hares. To the right, in front of a large basket containing pears, apples and other fruit, are different sorts of vege- tables. To the left, a cockatoo is seated on the back of a chair, on which is a dish with fruit. A green curtain is hanging from the ceiling, partly hiding an open window in the background.
