The sad discovery or the graceless apprentice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: The interior of a bedroom. A young man crawls from under a large four-post bed on which a young woman is kneeling, holding up her arms in supplication towards an elderly man and woman in night attire who have entered from the right behind a watchman and a man with a blunderbuss; the latter kneels, pointing his weapon at the apprentice. The watchman puts his staff under the bed to push out the apprentice; his lantern stands on the floor beside him. 30 November 1785

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
