"A country barber's shop, a ramshackle room with a raftered roof. The barber stands by his seated and infuriated client, holding up his razor, and stamping with anger; others are amused: a young woman (left), who combs an angry client's hair, looks round to laugh; the barber's assistant who is combing a wig on a wig-block, and a country youth who stands beside him. A dog barks. Wigs hang up in the window (right), two busts displaying wigs stand on a bench. On the wall are prints, wig-boxes on a shelf, and a roller-towel above a wash-basin."--British Museum online catalogue

"She stands directed to the left, holding a pointer with which she slyly points to a picture of Suzanna and the Elders. She is old and grotesquely ugly, wearing a hat over a frilled cap, an apron, and bunched-up skirt. Her left hand is on her hip, a large key dangling from the fourth finger. A corner of the room is shown, the pictures fitted closely together; three rows are depicted, hung above a dado; a fourth is indicated. The pictures are very freely drawn, and one at least is burlesqued."--British Museum online catalogue
