- Abstract
-
"An aged man with a Jewish profile unlocks a large padlock on an iron-studded door under a vaulted portico. Beside him stands a man dressed like a sailor with a basket of poultry and fish on his head, and a straw-covered flask in his hand. An area railing is also padlocked, but behind the railing is a handsome young officer on a ladder, helping a pretty girl out of the window. The old man wears old-fashioned dress with a tie-wig, and two coats, one worn like a cape with the sleeves empty. His crutched stick leans against the door. A corbel above the door is a grotesque figure with a Jewish profile, supporting a burden."--British Museum online catalogue
