Rustic Courtship

Thomas Rowlandson, 1785

The image shows two people in a rustic outdoor setting. The man is standing with one hand on his head, facing the woman. He has a broad smile, shoulder-length dark hair, and is dressed in an earthy red coat, light blue waistcoat, yellow breeches, blue stockings, and black shoes. The woman is seated on a chair, spinning using a wheel in front of her. She has dark hair, wears a white bonnet, and a white dress with long sleeves. Surrounding them are a barrel, a broom against the wall, a tree with green foliage, a simple wooden house with a thatched roof, and an earthy ground with grassy patches.
