- Abstract:
- "In a bare room with a raftered roof couples are energetically dancing, holding hands behind their backs, or above their heads. The women, with one exception, are young and handsome, the men ugly and plebeian. A seated fiddler plays with closed eyes (right). Through a doorway partly covered with curtains the bride and bridegroom are seen embracing. On the wall is a placard: 'They dance in a round, cutting capers and ramping. A mercy the ground did not burst with their stamping.The floor is all wett, with leaps and with jumps, while the water and sweat, splish splash in their pumps'."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- An obese, elderly sailor stands atop a fortified battlement looking out to sea through a telescope. Beside him a young woman turns to kiss a handsome young military officer as she holds up her wind-swept parasol. In front of him, at his feet, another young woman looks down at a sailor who gazes up at her with admiration. An old man shivers in the wind beside a sentry who stands with his back to the sea, smiling at the scene before him.
