"Street scene. The showman (right) stands in profile to the right looking up at Punch and Judy who perform on their tiny stage, the supports of which are covered by a checked material.

The spectators gaze up intensely amused: A milkman (left), his yoke on his shoulder, has put down his pail, from which a second monkey dressed as a woman is drinking.
