The young woman's holds in her hands a fan and book open to the word "matrimony". Above the stained-glass windows a cupid hovers with his bow

A clergyman in bands and gown, his hat on the pavement, squares up to a watchman holding a lantern and stick, his fists raised. He has evidently knocked out one watchman already, who lies on the ground, wig dislodged and still touching his lantern, while a third approaches from the left. Possibly from a series featuring a pugnacious parson's brushes with the law
