Katharina and Petruchio

Heath, Alfred Theodosius

The Taming of the Shrew; Kathatina; Petruchio; engraving

Engraving of a scene from The Taming of the Shrew. Petruchio standing to left, right hand on his hip, holding up a new cap in his left and mocking its shape, before giving it back to the waiting haberdasher despite Catherine's protestations that gentlewomen wear such caps, while she sits sadly at a table behind to right, denied the fashion until her behaviour is also gentle; scratched-letter state.
