-
A Macaroni in a tricorne hat, a sword with a hilt in the shape of a cockatoo's head at his waist and a walking stick dangling from gold rope around his wrist, peers through his quizzing glass at two stylishly-dressed women -- one young and pretty, the other old and ugly -- whom he passes on the street in front of a tavern, a wrought-iron fence behind him. The sign above the entrance reads "Wines, &c"; the sign on the building reads "Kind and Tender Usage." The young woman holds her hands in her fur muff; a watch dangling from the edge
