Title: [The Queen of Brobdingnag's maids with Gulliver]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Brobdingnag; England
Description: The maids of honour of the Queen of Brobdingnag entertain themselves looking at Gulliver. In the image we see two women with their shoulders exposed, partially undressed. Their hair is loose and the woman on the right has her corset unlaced. They wear earrings and necklaces. Gulliver sits in the centre looking up at the women. The scene appears when Gulliver describes the women on Brobdingnag, talking about their dress, appearances, and scent. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
