The interior of a village schoolroom, showing a casement window with a row of pegs for hats. The schoolmaster, wearing clerical bands, sits primly beside a writing-desk, a cane under his arm, his hands folded with the thumbs touching. His eyes are closed, and his expression is sour. Before him (right) stands a boy, holding an open 'A B C...', and gaping at his master.  Beneath is etched:
<p><br><br>'And then the Pedagogue with formal wig, 
<br>His night gown and his cane; ruling like Turk, 
<br>All in his dusty School.' 1 December 1790
