"A courtesan, wearing a hat and cloak and plainly dressed, puts her left arm round the shoulders of an elderly man (right), brazenly holding out her hand for money. The man, who is lean and ugly, and dressed in an old-fashioned manner with a tie-wig, leers at her as he gropes in his breeches-pocket."--British Museum online catalogue, description of variant state
