A hand-coloured print of a plump Parson standing regarding a young woman as he places his hand on her breast. The young woman looks on demurely with a basket over her left arm. The couple stand in front of a tree and the Parson's place of employment, the church, stands in the background. In the man's pocket is a paper entitled 'Essay on Woman'. Two other prints (RCINs 810149 & 810867) with this title also feature Parson's seducing women.
