The washer-woman or maid has already put the violin through the tub or hot water and soap and is now orking on the viola. The owner rushes into the room in a panic!

An engraving from 1890.

The original painting was auctioned in 2021, as “Spring Cleaning, or, A Diligent Housekeeper.”

Amusing but strong classist undertones.

A washer-woman is cleaning a viola in a tub of hot water (ruining it of course) and a distraught musician is running towards her.

Is that a quidditch snitch in her hand?

This engraving was made to sell the borders in it, & appeared in a printer’s catalogue of 1917.

PS: mention of quidditch is NOT an endorsement of the views of its inventor...
