An elderly couple (right), plainly dressed in a very old-fashioned manner, watch with shocked dismay an over-dressed Frenchwoman who takes by the wrist an equally over-dressed girl, making her curtsey, as she does herself. Their dresses are high-waisted, flounced, and vandyked, with neck-ruffles and short puffed sleeves. Both wear huge bonnets with erect cylindrical crowns, grotesquely trimmed, long gloves, each with a reticule dangling from the arm. A French servant in livery (left) stands chapeau-bras, a band-box slung from his arm, shrugging his shoulders to express horrified surprise. A plainly dressed young girl standing behind her aunt grins in astonishment at the visitors. The room is panelled and carpeted, with one side-table, and is probably a hall or ante-room in a country house
