A boisterous scene set in Covent Garden. It is likely early morning after a night of carousing. In which the market has been disrupted by a raucous crowd. A man sits atop a sedan chair occupied by a woman. A woman raises her arm to strike a man lying on the ground in front of the sedan chair which has apparently knocked over baskets of assorted produce that are strewn in the foreground. The scene is otherwise crowded with pedlars and other more smartly dressed persons. St. Paul’s Church designed by Inigo Jones is prominent in the left background along with other buildings in the market square

Abstract:
An Etchmaster etching on a copper-plate surface so as to resemble an antique copper etching plate with a reproduction (cropped) of the scene from William Hogarth's 1738 print "Morning," the first in his "Four Times of the Day" series. In the center, a middle-aged woman walks from the left towards St. Paul's church; the clock on the tower showing 6:55. She is followed by a servant boy carrying her prayer book under his arm as he tries to warm his hands in his pocket and jacket. St. Paul's is partially hidden behind a tavern identified by a sign reading "Tom King's Coffee House." In front of the tavern is a fire where two couples embrace as two women warm themselves, the one reaching out to beg of the well-dressed woman. To the left, in the middle distance, a small crowd mulls around the gate
