First and Second Floor

Thomas Rowlandson, pubblicato nel 1791

The image shows illustrations of four women positioned at two different windows. Two women lean out of a window with an open pane, one resting both arms on the window sill wearing a wide-brimmed hat with large pink flowers, and the other with curly hair, wearing a cap and leaning with one arm on the sill and the other hand on her hip. The other two women are seen at another window, dressed in elaborate 18th-century clothing with lace and ruffles. One wears a green feathered headpiece and the other wears a blue feathered piece in her hair. A stone or brick wall serves as the backdrop, with the lower window having a sash frame and being partially draped with curtains. Text beneath the image labels it as "First & Second Floor".
