Who's mistress now
Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827 · May 4, 1811
The scene is a kitchen ; a servant is disporting herself before a large glass, in borrowed plumage, in the hat, feathers, and train of her mistress, and flourishing a fan ; meanwhile a group of amused spectators are peeping in at the pantry door ; while the cat, more practically inclined, has knocked over a dish, and is availing herself of the opportunity of making off with a fine fish prepared for dinner.
