An academic sculptor in cap and gown carves a giant clothespin on a stool, even though his model is a seated nude female. A classical bust and picture captioned "After Tommy Rowlandson" surround the model, with a row of giant clothespins along the back wall. The scene is based on Old Joseph Nollekens and his Venus by Thomas Rowlandson.
