A young woman playing with a bird, which she has on a string. Engraving by Dupuis after J. Raoux.

Jean Raoux

Lettering: Lady amusing herself with a bird. Unhappy bird! from this maids hands fly, with a false show of liberty you try: the cruel fair one wanton in your pain, lets loose your wings to draw you back again. The gay coquette's weak lover just like thee, in his first joyfull transports thinks he's free, kindly she smiles - he looks - and can't depart, and still she reigns the tyrant o'er his heart. I. Raoux pinxit. Dupuis sculpsit.
