- Abstract
-
"The cobbler leans savagely over his wife who is tied to a chair, and with her wrists bound. With his awl between his teeth he pulls at the thread with which he is stitching up her mouth. She is an elderly virago with pendent breasts, who glares up at him, crisping her fingers; their faces are close together. A buxom young woman leans delightedly over the pair, holding up a candle."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
