"Social satire: a lady stands tying her bonnet before a mirror, her daughter behind her, telling a man she is about to call on "Captain Swagger", who insulted her saying he would "Kiss [her] to Death" if she paid any more of the bills she owed him, to see if he will carry out his threat."--British Museum online catalogue
