Frank,
Larkin's verses were doubtless suggested ('inspired' seems a mite strong!) by one of the 17C or 18C Dutch or Flemish pictures with this subject.(Or maybe a melange of several). Prints of such paintings decorated the walls of many British and Irish homes during the first half of the 20C, so he had probably encountered one or more in childhood.
Margaret.
