"Satire on Cambridge academics: scene at a pottery market where a fat don trips over two fighting dogs and grabs the collar of a thin gentleman as he falls towards a table laden with pots for sale; the stall-holder rushes from the left to save him from damaging her stock and two of the don's colleagues stand behind the table laughing. On the right a fat woman bargains with another stall-holder for a chamber pot and tureen; behind them a young student approaches a well-dressed young woman with a cross hanging around her neck; in the foreground, a baby has fallen into a flower pot and a dog who has had a barber's wig-stand tied to his tail runs to right barking; in the background, King's College Chapel."--British Museum online catalogue
