Abstract:
An intoxicated young man walks to the right, his eyes shut and head slumped to one side. He is supported by an older woman, his arm over her shoulders, as she holds his hat in her left hand. A younger woman on the man's right is picking his pocket with her left hand as, with her right hand, she gracefully lifts her skirts above the cobblestone street. A link-boy with a torch leads the way to the right. In the distance another link-boy is running also toward the right. In the distance is a statue of Charles I on horseback
