"The interior of a fashionable goldsmith's shop. A well-dressed woman stands at the counter where the proprietor peers through his eyeglass at a (?) bank-note; she hands a watch and chain to a fashionably dressed man seated beside her, who screens the transaction with his top-hat.

"Bedroom scene. A powerfully built man in greatcoat and top-boots throws a dandified youth out of a window, with stern concentration. The houses opposite, lit by a full moon, show that the ground is far below. The victim's head and shoulders are outside; he desperately clutches sash and sill, kicking violently. A terrified woman stands by the bed. Her huge bonnet hangs on the wall. In the struggle the dressing-table glass has been thrown to the floor, where it lies, with lighted candle and watch and seals. Stick, hat, and gloves are on the floor, the victim's hat and coat on a chair."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene outside a large apothecary's shop, both windows filled with large coloured jars. Above the door is the sign, a terrestrial globe on which scales are balanced.
