Notes

• Medium: Etchings, Hand coloring
• Depiction: A deceptive old tabby, clad in a juvenile style, is dashing along in a high poke-bonnet. Three or four Don Juans of eccentric exterior are hurrying after her to tender their attentions, an act of gallantry they are likely to regret on close inspection . . . .
• Signed in plate, lower right: "Rowlandson del.".
