After a picture exhibited by E. Penny at the Royal Academy, 1782. A companion design to BMSat 3798. The interior of an artist's studio showing no sign of poverty. The physician, a young man, is walking from the room (left to right) followed by the artist's wife, a well-dressed and comely middle-aged woman, who offers him a coin which he refuses to take. Through a door (left) is seen an inner room, with a man seated, leaning his elbow on a table on which are a phial of medicine and a bowl. On the lintel of the door is a classical bust. On an easel behind the doctor is a canvas with a sketch (half length) of a woman holding an infant. Canvases stand against the wall (right); a portfolio leans against a chair. Two pictures are hung high on the right wall; trimmed above publication line. 1 Jun 1784 Stipple
