Figure descriptions
A young boy sits on an old man’s lap and plays the bagpipes. The old man supports
the boy with one hand. He holds a pipe in
his other hand. A white cat perches on a stool and watches the boy. The figures occupy
a domestic space. The old man’s hat (a tam
o’shanter) and glasses are set on the table to his right. A book is placed on the
window sill. A clock, a picture frame, and a box
hang on the wall. There is a basket on the shelf behind the two central figures. Vines
are visible through a small window. Full-page
