On the wall is a (framed) 'Game of the Goose': three concentric ovals divided into small sections with a goose in the middle."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
A street scene in London near a butcher's shop with the portly owner assaults a gaunt Frenchman. A small chimney sweep drops a mouse into the Frenchman's wig as a dog fouls the Frenchman's legs. A woman with a tobacco pipe in her mouth trudges in the background balancing a basket of vegetables (or apples?) on her head. A lean Scotchman steals from the distracted butcher's stall
