"A handsome well-dressed young courtesan leads the way out of a room, her left hand on the door-handle, her right held behind her to take the guineas which an aged and decrepit old rake gives her with a leer. A handsome well-furnished room is indicated. Above the chimney-piece is a heavily-framed picture of DanaeĢ catching the shower of gold (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9813)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
