Abstract:
Mary Hackabout, now a harlot and mistress of a wealthy London Jew, exposes her breast and kicks over a tea table to divert his attention from the presence of her younger lover who hides behind the door of the room with her maid servant. A monkey and young black servant boy in a feathered turban look on the scene with frighten expressions. The mask and mirror in the lower left corner and the paintings of scenes from the Old Testament (Jonah IV.8 and 2 Samuel VI.1-5) hanging on the wall further amplify the artist's moral message

Abstract:
"A freely drawn sketch of three figures. A Jew in profile to the right holds a glass show-box which is supported by a strap round his shoulders. Facing him in profile to the left is a man with a large pack tied to his back, he is looking at the Jew's wares, one hand held up as in surprise. Between them, and full-face, stands a Dutchman (?) wearing trousers and smoking a pipe; he is looking at the Jew's show-case. [In 1765 Cole compared the Paris shop-windows to the show-cases carried about by Jews. 'Cole's Paris Journal', 1931, p. 50.] Above the heads of the figures a devil is flying, he holds two strings, one of which is attached to the neck of each pedlar."--British Museum online catalogue

A view of wartime merriment: A procession of sailors and their women, escorted by fiddlers, passes a background of shops towards a gateway across the end of the street (left). The purveyor of the jollification, a sailor who has inherited money, sits astride a cask of 'real Jamaica' supported on poles carried by sailors, who wave hat and tankard towards the crowded first-floor windows. Men and women dance along the street. There are many incidents. A Jew, talking to another Jew outside a shop placarded 'Moses Slop-Shop', has his hat twitched off by the cane of a sailor who leans from above the doorway. The sailors carry an Ensign flag and a flag inscribed 'Leander', and are making for the Point. See British Museum catalogue
