'Fond of Good Cheer' , study for 'A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go'
Randolph Caldecott 1846 - 1886
Summary
Vignette: a line drawing showing, from left to right, a portly male mouse standing in profile to the left, wearing a tail coat, holding up a glass with one paw and looking at it critically whilst resting the other paw on his chest; behind him are seated, on wooden chairs, a female mouse, wearing a floor-length dress and next to her a male frog, who rests both hands and his glass on his knee and leans slightly forward towards the mouse giving her an admiring look. No background detail. This work shares a mount with 1933.25, a similar work by the same artist and for a single publication.
