English:
Caricature "Matrimonial harmonics" by Gillray -- a couple whose courtship was almost purely musical (see the companion caricature

), but who never had much in common except music, are shown in a sorry state several years after marrying. The husband is now much less interested in music than is the wife, while the wife is more interested in it than in her duties as a wife and mother. This pair of caricatures satirizes the system by which middle- and upper-class girls were taught music, drawing, and French in order to attract a husband -- an education which didn't necessarily help them to make the best of living in marriage. Compared to the first caricature in the series, the lovebirds in the cage are now facing away from each other, and Cupid is dead (with an RIP inscription). Library of Congress description: "The couple torment each other in the breakfast room..." (Source: George). 1 print : engraving, color.
