"Companion print to BMSat 9678. Four pretty young women are in different stages of dress; a fat woman dressed as (?) a nun, holding a bottle and glass, resembles a bawd. One (left) is having her lank hair combed by a hair-dresser. One, completely dressed, stands in a chair to see her reflection in the small mirror held by a squalid and elderly woman. She wears a quasi-oriental high-crowned turban with floating draperies; one breast is bare; she holds a mask. A young woman wearing a huge cocked hat, shirt, and breeches, puts on a stocking, her foot supported on an overturned chair. The fourth, wearing mask and large feathered hat, adjusts a 'derrière' over her petticoat, standing before a dressing-table and mirror. On the floor are a make-up box, mask, bandbox, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two Thames watermen pull a pair-oar wherry towards riverside stairs, much amused at the effects of the wind on a fat 'cit' and a pretty young woman whom he is leading out of the boat. His hat and wig blow off, as does her hat, while her parasol is blown inside out. Other fat and elderly grotesques on the stairs (right) chase hats and wigs. Two comely young women sit in the stern (left). The houses by the stairs are ancient and small. The river is wide; on the opposite side (left) are buildings closely grouped round a large church, and suggesting Southwark."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
