A New Love Song Only a Ha'Penny a Piece

Britische Grafik 1796–1803, published 1796

This is a painting of a street scene involving an exchange. The scene shows a group of figures engaging in a transaction. A woman is offering a sheet of music or lyrics to another figure. The figures are dressed in period clothing. A child and a dog are present. Architectural elements, like stone columns, suggest the location is a town or city square. This art style is reminiscent of Francis Wheatley.
