"A thin elderly woman stands full-face, looking sourly to the left, holding out her right arm, from which an enormous fan points to the ground. Her left arm is akimbo. She wears a short-waisted dress with a separate train; her drooping breasts are defined by drapery, her thin arms by tight-fitting sleeves; her neck is heavily swathed. Her hair falls down her back from a twisted turban (see BMSat 8755) decorated with a group of erect ostrich-feathers, and a huge brush-aigrette. She wears large earrings, and an oval medallion is suspended from her neck on a heavy chain."--British Museum online catalogue

"A number of persons take shelter under the enormous hat-brim of a lady who screams, clasping her hands in alarm. An infant chimney-sweep or 'climbing boy' has climbed up her petticoats and sits astride on their lateral projection. A larger chimney-sweep is about to climb up, putting one foot on his sack of soot. A cloaked market-woman, smoking a pipe, stands under the shelter, as does a man in the dress of a naval officer. A sailor, wearing trousers, his arms folded, appears to be dancing a hornpipe under the shelter of the hat. In the background (right) a lady walks (right to left) holding up a small umbrella which shelters only a minute part of her enormous hat which extends far beyond her projecting breast and petticoats. In the foreground chickens run towards a hen for shelter. A house (left) and a high wall behind which is a tree (right) complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue
