Summary
Print shows a young officer in smart regimentals clasping the hand of a pretty girl who leans from the window of a rustic cottage. On the wall is a placard: 'The Wolf and the Kidd'. An old man trudges off to the right carrying a bundle. By the cottage is a pump at which are two old women, while a third looks from her cottage door on the extreme left; all register collective spite and disapproval. A young woman walks off carrying a pitcher on her head. A dog barks.
