- Abstract
-
"A boyish midshipman (right), wearing uniform with cocked hat, fashionable neck-cloth, and tight white trousers, bargains at the waterside with two prostitutes. He puts his arm round a comely young woman, feeling in his pocket; she extends her hand for payment. Beside her (left) is a hideous negress smoking a pipe. Behind, at the foot of a ladder, crouches a shapeless elderly woman. The ladder leads to a coastal fortification, where look-out men are lounging and smoking near a gun-embrasure. A man ascends the ladder with a basket on his head. Behind (right) is the sea with a man-of-war; by the shore a ship's boat with three sailors waits for the midshipman."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
