Six of the seven ages of man from Jaques' speech are depicted - the baby (part 2); the soldier (part 3); the lover (part 4); the justice (part 5); the schoolboy (part 6); the lean and slippered pantaloon (part 7). Part 1 depicts a woman laying a cloth in a coffin, and may be meant to allude to the seventh age.
Note
Title devised by cataloger.
These paintings were reproduced as stipple engravings in the 1799 publication "Shakspeares seven ages of man illustrated." All the paintings were reproduced with the exception of part 1. A different design was used for the seventh age, "second childishness", and Stothard's original for that age is not included in this collection.
