White earthenware painted underglaze in blue, pale green, ochre and black; Pratt Ware
White earthenware painted in blue, pale green, ochre, and black under lead-glaze. The figures are supported on a rectangular base with rounded corners. The cow stands with its head on the viewer's right, a young man stands beside it leaning against a low tree stump, and resting his left elbow on the top of a spade. He rests his head on his left hand and has his right hand on the top of the spade. To the viewer's left of him there is a small spaniel-like dog lying down in profile. The cow is white except for her teats, forehead, and a saddle-like area on her back which are ochre mottled with groups of black spots, and her hoofs, tail and eyes which are black. The man wears a black hat and shoes, a blue jacket, a white shirt with black spots, ochre breeches and white stockings. His spade is black. The dog has black ears, paws and tail. The edge of the base is decorated with alternating rectangular areas of ochre, blue and black mottling, and its top is pale green.
