The interior of a jeweller's shop, indicated only by three necklaces festooned on the wall and by a door giving on to the street. A lady sits between two men; one (left) points insinuatingly to a box of ear-rings which he holds, the other applies a boring instrument to her left ear.

Through the door are seen a Highlander blowing bagpipes and a milkmaid screaming for custom
