Description

Image probably after Rubens, with a pregnant woman looking greedily at a peach being sold by an old woman. The text reads: "The Dame beholds the Peach with greedy Eyes; She longs and must be pleas'd at any Price. / This knows the cunning Hag who vends the Ware / And makes her Musket of the teeming Fair".
