Another version in reverse, with several alterations, of bmsat 6109. The two women's figures are almost identical in both plates.

The words spoken by bisset and the maid are the same in both. In this design the ceiling of the room has a circle inset in the rectangle which may support a dome. A pair of mules stands beside the bath (right). 14 march 1782 hand-coloured etching. Date: 1782. Dimensions: Height: 350 mm; Width: 248 mm. Medium: paper.
