Abstract: "Pl. to 'The second part, . . . [ut supra]', see BMSat 10465. Dr. 'Willain' and his wife, three-quarter length and arm-in-arm, gaze up at a Punch and Judy show: Punch, highly delighted, has knocked over his wife, who staggers back. The doctor holds behind him the stick (with a cat's face) which his wife holds in BMSat 10465. From the doctor's coat-pocket dangles the head of a duck which he has bought after watching with his wife the plebeian (and cruel) sport of duck-hunting. The profile head of a spectator, or the showman, gazes at her from the r. margin."--British Museum online catalogue
