...Yon Widow'd Solitary Thing, 1833. Poor woman gathering watercress from a river, illustration to lines from 'The Deserted Village' by Oliver Goldsmith: '...That feebly bends beside the plashy spring; She, wretched matron, forced in age, for bread, To strip the brook with mantling cresses spread'. Possibly after Thomas Bewick or Frederick Wilton Litchfield Stockdale.
