- Abstract:
- A satire of a Gretna Green marriage, taking place in front of smithy's shop. Erskine, disguised in woman's dress with a huge feathered bonnet over a barrister's wig, holds the right hand of a demure-looking woman, modishly dressed and apparently pregnant. He holds a paper: 'Breach of Promise'. With them are three young children. The smith wears Highland dress; he holds a red-hot bar on the anvil and raises his hammer, saying, "I shall make a good thing of this Piece at last." Erskine says: "I have bother'd the Courts in London many times, I'll now try my hand at the Scotch Bar--as to Miss C-- she may do her worst since I have got my Letters back." The woman says: "Now who dare say, Blacks the White of my Eye." In the background (right) a young woman rushes down a slope towards the smithy, shouting, "Oh Stop Stop Stop, false Man, I will yet seek redress tho you have got back your letters--" Beside her is a sign-post pointing 'To Gretna Green'. A little boy with Erskine's features, wearing tartan trousers, stands on tip-toe to watch the smith; on the ground beside him is a toy (or emblem), a cock on a pair of breeches. A little girl stands by her mother nursing a doll fashionably dressed as a woman, but with Erskine's profile. Another boy with a toy horse on a string stands in back view watching 'Miss C'. Behind the smith is the furnace; on the wall hang many rings: 'Rings to fit all Hands.'

- Abstract:
- "A confused scene. A beadle, cane in hand, grasps the side of an overturned barrow, from which a basket, scales, and black puddings (coloured green) have fallen. A powerful young woman grasps his nose, and prepares to use her fist; an older woman clutches his back and belabours him with a basket. Both are shrieking termagants with bare breasts. A dog between the beadle's legs barks. The spectators, all close to the fray, are amused: a butcher, shouldering a tray of meat, stands outside his stall (left), which is immediately behind the combatants; from it dangle large joints and a carcase. A woman passes, pushing a barrow (left). A man's grinning face watches from the right. Behind (right) is a shop placarded 'Bob Giblet Poulterer', its ancient front hidden by bunches of hares and turkeys."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

She is an elderly virago with pendent breasts, who glares up at him, crisping her fingers; their faces are close together. A buxom young woman leans delightedly over the pair, holding up a candle."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
