Title from caption below image.

"A (?) Savoyard boy playing fife and tabor exhibits his dolls, two puppets on a string stretched between his knee and a stick. A Welsh milk-woman (left), with her pails hanging from a yoke, laughs. Two little girls (right) are amused; the younger makes her doll imitate the puppets. The road is suburban, bordered by the paling of a Nursery, over which leans an amused spectator."--British Museum online catalogue.
