TitleSymptoms of the Shop : Plate 4
Date1 Mar 1801
DescriptionA short fat grocer talks to a tall thin woman. The shopkeeper, standing on the left, has his hand on his heart, and declares:
"Adorable compound of sweets, - thou tamarind of excellence! - more luscious than a turkey fig - and at the same time as graceful as a stick of barley sugar - have compassion on a little Grocer that adores you."
The woman, wearing an empire-line dress and ostrich feathers in her hair, looks at him, while a small dog plays at her feet.
