open, and her right hand extended on a cushion; an elderly
lady and a gentleman (probably intended for her parents)
stand by, deeply affected. The former, wearing a dark bluish
cloak and a red skirt, is nearest the spectator. Close to the
left is a table covered with a Turkey carpet, on which are a
looking-glass, richly framed, and other objects of the toilet.
In the back of the apartment is seen a young domestic enter-
ing at an arched doorway. A stool, covered with crimson
velvet, and a bed, are also in the room. Description, No. 14,

24. The Greengrocer. The subject is represented at an
arched window; and the mistress of the shop, an elderly
woman, dressed in a tawny cloak, and holding a caulissower
in her hand, appears to be recommending her goods to a
young woman who stands on her left, in the act of taking a
melon from a basket, which stands on the sill, on which are
also bunches of carrots, parsnips, endive, caulissowers, and a
basket containing radishes. A bas-relief of boys playing
with a goat adorns the under part of the window. A curtain
is suspended on one side of it, and ropes of onions on the
other. Signed, and dated 1731.

25. Susannah and the Elders. The scene exhibits a woody
landscape, on the foreground of which is the chaste Susannah
sitting on a bank, struggling against the violence of the elders.
