"Britannia (left), a buxom young woman, clasps the trunk of a large oak, while Paine tugs with both hands at her stay-lace, placing a large foot on her posteriors. He wears blue and buff with a tricolour cockade on his bonnet rouge. From his coat pocket protrudes a pair of scissors and a tape inscribed: 'Rights of Man'. His face is blotched with drink and his expression is fiercely intent, but he is neatly dressed. Behind him is a thatched cottage inscribed: 'Thomas Pain, Stay-maker from Thetford. Paris Modes, by express.' Britannia looks over her shoulder at the stay-maker (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9240) with an expression of pained reproach. Her shield leans against the tree; her spear is on the ground; across it lies an olive-branch."--British Museum online catalogue

Inside a wig-maker's shop a bald man sitting on a stool squirms in agony as an elder woman attends to the wound on his forehead. Another man, standing to their right, looks on with visible discomfort. To their left is a table laid with scissors, razors, pliers, basin, small length of cloth and a bottle of 'Jalap.' A cat sits next to the cloth. In the background, on a wide window-sill, are wig-maker's tools and a wig in progress. Several finished wigs hang on pegs above the window. A number of boxes with the customers' names on them stand on a shelf above the door and an almanack hangs on the wall behind it. The door is wide open revealing in the background two men fighting a duel in front of the 'Crown' tavern, surrounded by several onlookers
