"A small thin man, his hands in his waistcoat pockets, stands full-face between two robust courtesans. One (left), dressed in the fashion of the day with high-waisted dress, and tall feathers in her hair, a large fan hanging from her wrist, seizes his right arm. The other, a burly woman (right) wearing a hat and pelisse, puts her hand on his right shoulder; in her left hand is a birch-rod."--British Museum online catalogue
