Harmony before Matrimony, Gillray, James, 1756-1815, engraver, [London], 1805, a young woman and a fashionably dressed young man singing a duet. The woman plays a harp while looking over her shoulder at the music book, Duets de L'Amour, which the man holds. On the table between the two is an open copy of Ovid's Art of Love. Two cats play on sheets of music; two goldfish swim in a bowl; two roses grow in a vase. Other images reflect the concept of couples and love.
