- Abstract:
- A large stout man, with an expression of resignation on his face, walking between village houses, staggers under the weight of a drunken woman reposing on his back, a glass marked 'gin' in her raised right hand, her bosom exposed. On her lap sits a monkey holding on to the man's wig and thus pulling it off his head. A magpie is sitting on monkey's shoulders. Around the man's neck is a heavy chain with a huge padlock inscribed 'wedlock' hanging in the center. Behind the group, from a pigsty attached to the house on the left and inscribed, 'She is as drunk as David's sow' a pig sticks out its head. From the roof of the same house is suspended a sighboard showing two cats and decorated at top with bull's horns. Above the horns is an inscription, 'The Christian mans arms, or, the cuckolds fortune.'
