"A bedroom scene. A plump lady sits in a chair, making gestures of pain with hands and legs, while a hairdresser combs her back hair, and a negress combs a tress pulled forward over the face. Behind (left) another hairdresser combs the tousled hair of a lean man, who registers anguish."--British Museum online catalogue
