A laughing well-dressed man looks through a large round glass, his left hand in his pocket. A bailiff, standing to his left, puts his hand on the man's left arm while presenting him with a writ. In the background is a large, four-story building in front of which stands a sedan chair. From a building across the street hangs a large sign with Shakespeare's likeness, signed 'Shakespear.'
