red sleeves, standing at an arched window with an earthen
pitcher in her hand, apparently for the purpose of watering
a pot of flowers, which is in front of the window. A bird-

43. A middle-aged W oman, dressed in a dark gray bod dice
with red sleeves, and a brown slouched bonnet, standing at
an arched window with an earthen pitcher in her hand. A
pot of pinks is on one side of the window, and a bird-cage
hangs on the other. This, like the preceding, with which it

44. The Water Doctor. The subject is represented at an
arched window, where the empiric is seen habited in the ele-
gant costume of the period, holding up an urinal to the light,
and at the same time turning towards a woman, who, with a
child in her arms, stands near him, waiting with enquiring looks
the result of the examination. A brass basin, two books,
and an hour-glass, are on the window sill, and a rich curtain
is suspended above.
