Description:
This lithograph is made to resemble a picture in a frame that captures an idyll, or a scene or event of a simple and tranquil nature. Members of parliament are caricatured in these idylls; they are made to seem like angels, without clothes but with small wings instead. The caption below the picture reads: "Far from parliamentary debate, young legislators, / Let's dance under the hazel trees. Tircis with his bagpipes sings delightful tunes, / Let's dance, young legislators, under the hazel trees."
