English: The Interior of a room, with a groined ceiling and arched windows. An interesting old woman, habited in the costume of the time, stands in front, occupied in scraping carrots upon the top of a cask ; at her right is a boy, with a mouse-trap in his hand, which he is holding up to the light of a large window, in order to see the little prisoner : this object appears to have drawn him from his studies, as he still holds a palette of colours on his hand. On the opposite side (or left of the picture), is a hencoop, with a bright brass can and a red cabbage on it, over which are a dead cock, some partridges, and other objects hanging against the wall, and upon a shelf still higher are some jugs and plates ; various other objects are distributed about the room, and at the further end is seen an old man reading by candlelight. This is in every respect an admirable picture, both in composition and exquisite finish, and has, besides, the advantage of clearness throughout, it being illumined by two large windows.
