A pretty lady's maid stoops in profile to the right to gaze with prurient eagerness through a key-hole. She holds a salver, letting two jelly-glasses slide off it. A lady's bonnet and gloves and a cocked hat and sword, carelessly laid down, show the object of her curiosity. She wears a graceful white gown and a lace cap over her curled hair. April 1817 Etching with hand-colouring
