Abstract:

"An elderly ugly and obese 'cit', seated full face in an arm-chair, yawns cavernously, with closed eyes. He wears a nightcap. His comely and meretricious-looking young wife holds up her fingers above his head, to signify horns (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8809, &c), while she slips a letter into the hand of a handsome young military officer who stands in the doorway behind her, a finger on his nose."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
