Description: | A landscape setting with two women in classical dress, trying to capture winged putti, one by the use of a cage, the other with a net.
Mounted below is the handwritten prose 'So weak poor Cloe's nets were wove/That tho' she charm'd into them/New game each hour, the youngest Love/ was able to break through them/Meanwhile young Sue whose cage was wrought/of bars too strong to sever/One Love with golden pinions caught/And cag'd him there for ever.'
NCM 1891-5 and NCM 1890-215 mounted together.
