He in turn appears to be holding a quill pen at a table. To each side a well-dressed gentleman appears to be in liaison with young ladies of the servant class. The verso shows a maiden, accompanied by an older lady, in the garden of a simple cottage dwelling, a large country house in the background. A young man is keeling before her presumably asking for her hand. Guard length 8.5 inches or 21.5cm CONDITION REPORT: . The monture appears generally good but lacking a few of the silver metal dots.
