She looks with disdain at her enraged husband in old-fashioned clothes and a nightcap, sitting next to her, his fists clenched and despair on his face. In his lap lies a pair of breeches he is sewing; above on the wall of their meagre abode hangs an advertisement placard next to which is drawn a small stag's head with antlers

Abstract:
A Macaroni in a tricorne hat, a sword with a hilt in the shape of a cockatoo's head at his waist and a walking stick dangling from gold rope around his wrist, peers through his quizzing glass at two stylishly-dressed women -- one young and pretty, the other old and ugly -- whom he passes on the street in front of a tavern, a wrought-iron fence behind him. The sign above the entrance reads "Wines, &c"; the sign on the building reads "Kind and Tender Usage." The young woman holds her hands in her fur muff; a watch dangling from the edge

A macaroni, carrying a very tall walking cane, enrages an Irish vegetable seller when he upsets her mug of beer on the pavement. In her rage, she graps hold of his long pony tail attached to his toupeé, knocking his hat off as she pulls his head back. He looks startled but slightly amused. Beside her on the pavement is a large basket filled with vegetables (possibly cauliflower).

"Four persons gazing at the prints displayed in a print-shop closely resembling though not identical with that in British Museum Satire no. 3758 (1774) which is evidently by the same artist. A man and woman (left) in macaroni dress stand together, he holds her left hand smiling, and pointing at one of the prints with his right hand. She turns aside smiling behind her fan. Two men (right) stand in conversation; one (right) points out to the other, who is in back view, both hands held up in astonishment, one of the prints in the top row, apparently that of Wesley. Other prints print of John Bunyan and George Whitefield. A dog befouls the foot of the man facing the shop-window."--British Museum online catalogue
