"Six women, all with inviting glances or gestures: arranged as in British Museum Satires No. 11143. 'Pigs Pettitoes', an ugly woman with toes turned in. 'Scrag of Mutton', a hideously lean and angular woman, her hands in a muff. 'Leg of Lamb', a comely woman with an umbrella, her petticoats kilted up displaying leg. 'Poloney', an ugly plump woman, rather sausage-shaped. 'Cods Head and Shoulders', a grossly fat and ugly woman. 'Lamb Chop and Mint Sauce', a pretty young woman holding a purse."--British Museum online catalogue
