Abstract:
"Two wooden shutters, the upper parts of two adjacent doors, hinged on one post between two cottages, are opened inwards, to allow a handsome young couple to lean out and kiss. Behind the young woman (left) stands a bald and aged man, raising an admonishing forefinger. Behind the man an elderly virago screams with a threatening gesture. On a hook on the central post is a cage with two billing birds, which the young man is holding up. A cat clambers up towards the girl; a dog (right) dashes in fury towards a cock which is pecking a hen."--British Museum online catalogue
