The Morning Amusements of her Royal Highness

William Blake after Thomas Stothard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of six individuals, including both adults and children, gathered in a domestic setting. The individuals are engaging in various activities. One adult woman on the left is sitting in profile, wearing a dress with a full skirt and a lace apron, and a cap. She appears to be instructing two young girls seated next to her on the floor, both wearing dresses with lace detailing and caps, with one child holding an open book. Another adult woman is standing at the center, holding a young child, wrapping them in fabric. She is also wearing a dress with lace and a cap. To the right, another woman is seated, facing forward, leaning slightly on a chair, with elaborate hair and earrings visible; she holds a partially visible piece of cloth. Next to her, behind the chair she leans on, stands another adult wearing a cap and cloak, observing the scene. The background consists of intricately designed panels or wallpaper, and a decorative wall sconce is visible.
