Abstract:
"A man (right) and woman (left) are shown full length and appear to be quarrelling. The young woman runs left holding up in her right hand a glass whose contents are being spilled. In her left hand she holds a sword hilt downwards. She wears a flat ribbon-trimmed hat, low ribbon-trimmed bodice. The man (right) dressed as a macaroni holds a cane above his head in his right hand; his left hand is on the hilt of his sword. The mouths of both are open as if shouting."--British Museum online catalogue
