- Abstract
-
"A scene outside the orchestra at Vauxhall. A stout woman puts a handkerchief round her husband's neck to protect him from the night air. Her daughter holds her fan to her face and looks towards a beau in the middle distance who inspects her through his glass. A waiter walks off (right) with glasses and a bottle. There are other figures. The background shows the orchestra (left), with two musicians, and the organ; on the right are trees, and the 'covered walk'; two men sit at a table with a bowl of punch."--British Museum online catalogue
