Hand-coloured etching and aquatint. Plate: 335 x 260mm (13 x 10''), with large margins. Trimmed, repaired damage in left edge.
An ugly foppish apothecary, with drink-blotched profile, kneels at the feet of a handsome young woman, one hand on his breast, the other pointing to a cloth at his feet on which are spread clyster-pipes, knife, pestle and mortar, and a bottle: 'Elixer of Life Drops'. She stands, making a gesture of surprise. Behind are the curtains of a bed, and a door round which looks an amused man.
BM Satires: 11114.
[Ref: 50740] £360.00
