She sits on a chair, slightly inclined towards the right. She holds up a goblet full of wine in her left hand, and grasps the handle of a white earthenware jug in her right hand, which rests on the arm of the chair. Her face is turned to the spectator. She wears a close-fitting white cap and a grey dress. To the right of her is a tub. It was formerly ascribed to A. Brouwer, but is an early work by Ostade. [Pendant to H7-] Traces of a signature seem to occur below the left hand on a hoop of the tub ; panel, 7 inches by 6 inches. In the Schwerin Museum, 1882 catalogue, No. 759. 225. An Old Woman with a Jug. Half-length. She faces half- right. She wears a black bodice with brown sleeves and white collar and cap. She holds to her bosom with both hands a green enamelled jug, and laughs with open mouth at the spectator. The background is stupidly repainted. If the picture is genuine, it has been completely over-cleaned, and is of the late period. But its authenticity is dubious. The panel is old, but raises suspicions.
