| Description |
English: Outside a rural house, a man and a woman making love on the porch at right, she sitting on a garden seat, he holding up her left leg; an arch above the door supported by two priapic figures, fantail skylight just seen; at a window directly above, a stout man with a pipe contemplates a caged bird; avidly watching the couple from left, a young woman with her arm about a tree trunk and her skirts about her waist touches herself; on the ground at lower left, a milk-pail, basket and a cock mounting a hen.

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
