Abstract

"A pretty young woman leans from an open street-door towards a stout fishwoman who has planted a basket of fish on the step. A second fishwoman stands beside her, her basket on her head, hands on her hips. The house is a corner one, the door has a carved pediment. Behind are low-gabled houses with casement windows. Beneath the title: 'That Fish Madam's sweet! the girl made no reply, Afraid of her life {and to bid was to buy) The Fagg gave a volley her sister squard Trim Smell the fish! what it stinks Eh? you saucy young Brim'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of later state
