Abstract: "An elderly man, bent to deformity, thin and shambling, in profile to the left, follows two flamboyant prostitutes who walk arm-in-arm, looking behind them. He supports himself on a walking-stick; from his pocket protrudes a book: 'Modest Prints'. The women's dresses trail on the pavement, but one lifts her skirt to display her legs. The background is formed of the massive stones at the corner of a high building."--British Museum online catalogue
