"A burly and ragged Irishman with a wooden leg sits on the knee of a fat and grotesque Englishwoman; they kiss, his right arm round her neck, both her arms round his shoulders. A poverty-stricken room is indicated by a low casement window with broken panes, bricks showing through broken plaster, and a rough plank door (left). On a table is an enormous tankard and a small measure of gin."--British Museum online catalogue.
