"A plump Jewess leans over the wooden barrier across the street doorway, to kiss a sucking-pig which her husband holds out to her, affectionately putting his arm round her shoulders. He is bearded, with a long coat, with a bag slung from his arm, showing that he deals in old clothes. A sow (right) looks up anxiously at the pig. A comely young woman wearing a necklace and ear-rings leans over Mrs. Shevi, admiring the pig. From an adjacent window or doorway, an elderly Jew leans, registering outraged horror. The doorway is vaulted, and has a heavy wooden door. A caged bird hangs just inside. On a wall (right) is a bill: 'Lost supposed to have been Stolen a Sow and Seven Pigs Whoever gives Information Five Pound Reward'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
