- Abstract:
- "Villagers play quoits outside a gabled, thatched, and dilapidated inn, the sign: 'Asses Milk sold here' and 'Dirty Dick'. The quoits lie round a peg in the right foreground watched by a bull-dog. One man is about to throw. There is norie of the rustic prosperity and gaiety of other plates in the series. The players are in their working-clothes, some with aprons. A fat butcher drains a tankard (right) spilling its contents, and watched with anger by a lean man. A grossly fat woman with a donkey flirts shamelessly with two men, one a crippled beggar, while the animal eats from the fruit in a pannier on its back. A half-naked termagant leans over a paling to beat a bystander with her broom; behind her is a notice: 'Washing and mangling done here'. A woman carrying an infant angrily tries to drag away an absorbed spectator. In the background villagers drink and embrace, and a thin man rides a kicking donkey. A view of the grosser side of rural life, with the suggestion that these are the village wastrels."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state
