"Here's songs of love & maids forsaken" (BM 1851,0901.1374 1), An elderly woman sits on a stool playing a small harpsichord (right) seen in profile, a music-book upon it. She sings with her head turned towards the spectator, her features twisted, eyes closed. Her hair hangs upon her round shoulders; the curves of her figure and a small waist indicate an attempt to conceal the ravages of time. The line is shaky throughout, to give an impression (especially in the music-book) of an aged, quavering voice.  30 March 1793

「愛と召使の歌は忘れ去られた」彼女は頭を観客の方に向けたまま歌い、彼女の特徴はねじれた目が閉じている。彼女の髪は丸い肩に垂れ下がっており、彼女の姿の曲線と小さな腰は時間の荒廃を隠そうとしていることを示している。全体に揺れがあり、印象を与える。 1793年3月30日 手彩色のエッチング
