Abstract:
Mary Hackabout, now a harlot and mistress of a wealthy London Jew, exposes her breast and kicks over a tea table to divert his attention from the presence of her younger lover who hides behind the door of the room with her maid servant. A monkey and young black servant boy in a feathered turban look on the scene with frighten expressions. The mask and mirror in the lower left corner and the paintings of scenes from the Old Testament (Jonah IV.8 and 2 Samuel VI.1-5) hanging on the wall further amplify the artist's moral message

Abstract:
A dilapidated room with Moll Hackabout's friends, mostly prostitutes, gathered around her open coffin, several of them weeping; one young woman stands with her back to the scene as she gazes at herself in the mirror. On the left, a clergyman spills his brandy as he surreptitiously gropes beneath a woman's skirt; Moll's serving woman, standing at the coffin with a wine bottle and glass in hand scowls at the pair. Under the window and to the right, the undertaker flirts with a pretty young prostitute who picks a handkerchief from his pocket. In the foreground Moll's small son playing with a spinning top. Sprigs of yew (rosemary?) decorate her coffin; a plate of yew rests on the floor at the parson's feet, another spring at her son's feet
