Print, The Course of true Love never did run smooth, by
Jacob Thompson, Hackthorpe, Lowther, Cumberland, 1854,
engraved by William Ballingall.
Two lovers seated on the ground beside a hedge, a pile of
faggots lying beside the young woman with her bonnet placed
upon it. She sits with her face averted from him as he
reaches out towards her. His hat lies discarded nearby. To
right of composition a woman approaches, about to step over
the wooden stile; she wears an expression of consternation
as she catches sight of them.
The work was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854.
