- Abstract
-
"A crowd of eleven amused spectators watches the punishment of a bully, a tall man standing in profile to the left. A much shorter man, fashionably dressed, his arms folded, spits in his face. A man (right) pulls his long queue and kicks him. A fashionably dressed young woman (left) derisively holds out a smelling-bottle towards him; a stout woman holding a basket of fruit offers him one of her oranges. A dog befouls his leg. On each side a laughing man watches the attack through an eye-glass. On the wall is print of an ass wearing a lion's skin inscribed 'The Old Fable Verified'."--British Museum online catalogue
