Below these two ladies there is a third, who has raised the forefinger of her right hand, apparently to warn the child not to be so restless at the sight of things belonging to others. Below this figure is a girl, whose elaborate neck ornaments and large ear-rings are prominent. She is also looking at the lady holding the duckling. The nose of the girl is rather large, which defect has been accentuated by the artist placing a high light on it. The face is, however, full of expression, and exhibits the power of the artist in giving life to his creations.
