A German copy of Hogarth's "The Discovery" (1743?): a scene in a bedoom where four gentlemen stand beside a curtained bed in which a black woman reclines; she reaches out to touch the chin of one of the men who has evidently just pulled back the curtain. The scene is thought to record a practical joke carried out on the lothario John Highmore by his friends: having arranged an assignation with an attractive young woman, they replaced her with a black prostitute. When he discovered the swap, on climbing into bed, they appeared from hiding. See Paulson

"The candidate, stout and plainly dressed stands on a cask, bawling with outstretched hand at his audience, who are grouped below him, their heads only appearing, except for figure in the foreground. Here a lady (three-quarter length), a veil hanging from her hat over her face, and forming a background to her handsome profile, puts coins from a bag into the extended palm of a man, who gazes fixedly at her face, and who may be intended for a butcher. In the crowd, a fist strikes one man in the eye another is being slapped on the cheek. Three profiles gaze up cynically at the speaker, one is drinking."--British Museum online catalogue
