Abstract: "Three fashionably dressed young men: one sits hat in hand; one stands with a hand on the former's shoulder; the third (right) stands as if displaying a short coat with cut-away tails. All wear tight breeches. Below the title: '"I say Bob! who suffers? Why d------n me that coat's too short for you by a Yard " - O' no matter for that, it will be long enough before I get another" - Aye and long enough before its paid for, eh! Bobby! - ' On the wall is a picture of a fortress-like building."--British Museum online catalogue
