About the painting
This was one of Mulready's most popular works. The young man is courting the girl, and has written a poem for her as a token of his love. A critic observed: 'The youth is fiddling with his shoe-tie, but casting a upwards sly look, to ascertain what effect his lines produce upon the merry maid who reads them...placing her hand before her lips to suppress her laughter'.
