Figure descriptions
On the left side of the illustration, a man and a woman stand facing one another.
The woman sews a button onto the man’s
shirt. Enlarged objects sit in front of them, including an inkpot, quills, a threaded
needle, and a spool. One cherub walks on a
line of thread suspended between the needle and the spool, and two other cherubs play
on the quills. On the right side of the
illustration, a man kneels down with his back turned towards the viewer. There are
pots, lids, and plates scattered on the floor
beside him. Some of the kitchen ware is broken. At the far right, a kettle emits a
cloud of steam that surrounds the entire
illustration. Above the kettle, a woman stands and holds household objects (either
a broom and dustpan or a set of fireplace tools).
At the top of the illustration, between the left and right sections, three women sit
and look down at the other scenes. There are
stars scattered around the women. 1/2 page.
