A young woman (right), fashionably dressed, looks down demurely as she receives the eager advances of an elderly and toothless man wearing a bag-wig and sword and the ribbon of an order. He covertly gives a purse to a fat and elaborately dressed bawd who stands behind him."--British Museum online catalogue.
