- Abstract
-
"An uncouth footman (left) in livery stands in the door of a corner house, taking a tankard from a pot-boy, while he answers an elderly and hungry-looking visitor, who leans towards him with an angry and sceptical stare. Across the street is an old-fashioned building with a swinging lantern in a shade ...; two stout elderly men approach the door of this cheap cook-shop ..."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print for which this is likely the original drawing
