Sadness
Woodward, G. M. (George Moutard), approximately 1760-1809 · January 21, 1800
This passion is represented by an old maid, who is rendered completely miserable by the death of her favourite lapdog. A 'serious footman' is gravely contemplating the body of a deceased puppy, extended on a velvet cushion, while an antiquated spinster, his mistress, who is smartened up with bows and ribbons, is in the depths of despair.
