The composition is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the era to life. The lady's stern expression contrasts with the servant's sheepish demeanor, creating a sense of tension and amusement. We can almost hear the reprimand being delivered as we observe their interaction. Hassall's artwork not only showcases his talent as an illustrator but also offers us insight into societal norms of that time period.
