- Abstract:
- "A handsome young courtesan sits by the fire, her legs crossed indecorously, her breast bare; she has a decanter at her elbow, and holds a glass of wine. Standing on each side of her are her jailor, holding a bunch of keys, and a hideous old woman; both drink. Over the chimney-piece is a placard: 'Mac Nab Sherrifs Officer for the County of Middlesex--Genteel Accomodation for Ladies and Gentlem[en]'. The door (left) is heavily bolted, and has an iron grille; the large, partly curtained window is massively barred."--British Museum online catalogue
