Satire on seductive milliners: the interior of a shop with an attractive young woman wrapping lace around the wrist of a young officer who looks up at her admiringly, while another young woman stands behind measuring the width of his shoulders. On the counter is a box of laces and a bust on which the officer's hat has been placed; other boxes, one labelled 'love', are on shelves behind the counter and a hat hangs on the other wall. Mezzotint. Date: 1778-1779 (circa). Dimensions: Height: 251 mm; Width: 336 mm. Medium: paper. Depicted People: Sarah Woodcock. Collection: British Museum.
