Milk below Maids

Britische Grafik 1790–1796, 1793

The artwork depicts a scene with three figures: a woman and two children, along with a dog. The woman is standing and holding a milk pail in her left hand. She is dressed in a long, flowing pink skirt and a light blue blouse with an apron. She wears a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a pink ribbon and flower. Her hair is styled in curls visible beneath the hat. The two children stand to her left, with the older child holding a small jug. The younger child, a girl, is wearing a white dress and bonnet. A small dog stands beside the children, looking towards the viewer. In the background, there is a large building with iron railings and a streetlamp. The sky is visible, suggesting an outdoor urban setting. Several large milk churns are placed on the ground near the woman.
