- Abstract:
- "A country barber's shop, a ramshackle room with a raftered roof. The barber stands by his seated and infuriated client, holding up his razor, and stamping with anger; others are amused: a young woman (left), who combs an angry client's hair, looks round to laugh; the barber's assistant who is combing a wig on a wig-block, and a country youth who stands beside him. A dog barks. Wigs hang up in the window (right), two busts displaying wigs stand on a bench. On the wall are prints, wig-boxes on a shelf, and a roller-towel above a wash-basin."--British Museum online catalogue
