Abstract:

"A scene between decks, evidently in an East Indiaman. A hammock stretches across the upper part of the design; from it a sailor looks down grinning at a buxom young woman who is being 'rigged out' by a sailor seated on a tea-chest. She wears chemise and petticoat, inscribed 'Gum Elastic', with two huge pockets inscribed 'Japan Old China' and 'Tea', a cask of 'coniac' and a canister are tied to her waist, and a bottle of 'Otto or [sic] Roses' is between her breasts. Her hat and gown hang from a nail (right). She puts her hand amorously on the smiling sailor's head. Another sailor sits behind him, smoking and drinking. There are chests of 'Souchon' and 'Congo' tea, and bottles of 'arrack'. A fiddle hangs from the wall."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
