The first composition shows a group of gipsies gathered with their animals in a landscape, including a woman in the centre who lifts a child onto the pannier of a donkey; a young man holding up an apple to tempt the child. The second is an elegant interior where a mother is embracing her child while her husband, sister and grandmother look on with grateful surprise. The child gestures towards a coachman standing on the left, beside a weeping gipsy woman and two of her children. After Henry Singleton (1766 - 1839).
