This 1795 hand-colored etching by James Gillray, titled *Enter Cowslip, with a bowl of Cream*, is a satirical caricature of a woman, known as Cowslip, holding a bowl of cream. Gillray was a British caricaturist who is known for his sharp wit and political commentary, often using exaggerated physical features to ridicule his subjects. Cowslip's large size and comical pose are likely meant to be humorous, making this work a prime example of Gillray's sharp wit and political satire.
