"Miss, I have a monstrous crow to pluck with you!!", James Gillray, 1794

A mother and daughter face each other in profile. An elderly woman, heavily moustached and bearded, sits at a small rectangular table, her right forefinger accusingly pointed at a young woman (closely resembling her), apparently pregnant, who stands holding a fan with an expression of wary apprehension. Beneath the table is a large crow, one foot raised, turning its head towards the elder woman to say "oh! too bad". A patterned carpet, plain wall, and door (right) form a background. 1 november 1794 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1794. Dimensions: Height: 240 mm; Width: 295 mm. Medium: paper.
