An old ewe drest lamb fashion. - Rowlandson, Thomas, 1756-1827 ([London] : [s.n.], 1810)
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.".
Grego II, p. 193
