"A fat old woman leans back in an armchair, her left leg thrust forward. She pulls up her petticoat to display the bare leg, on which is a running sore, to an aged doctor (right), who bends over it, holding his spectacles to his eyes. Her desperate plight is apparent in the fixed stare with which she looks up and to the right. By her side (left) is a bottle and glass. A pretty young courtesan, resting her left arm on the back of the chair, leans forward to hold a candle above the leg."--British Museum online catalogue, description of reissued state

A scene inside an apothecary’s shop, with a surprised looking apothecary standing behind the counter serving a shifty looking male customer wearing a Scottish bonnet cap and tartan trousers. Behind the counter is a labelled drug run (a set of drawers for storing medicinal ingredients) and labelled drug jars (for storing prepared medicines); on and in front of the counter are pestles and mortars. The shop has carboys and drug jars on display in the windows to the right. The apothecary holds a plaster iron in his hand and is in the process mixing a preparation.
