He wears the round hat and baggy breeches of the Dutchman in caricature. Both stand full-face, each looks towards the other. The background is formed by the lower part of houses in Covent Garden showing the arcade of the Piazza, a sedan chair (right) stands under an arch. Immediately behind the two figures are vegetables and baskets."--British Museum online catalogue
