- Copy in reverse of William Hogarth's "Woman swearing a child to a grave citizen. A pregnant young woman standing to left, swearing on a book before a magistrate who sits at a bench to right, that the child is by an old man wearing a dark wig with a ruff hanging at his waist, while he raises his hands and eyes to heaven, protesting innocence, his wife, wearing a coif and bonnet shakes her fist, upbraiding him, and the true father, a young man, crouches behind the woman, whispering counsel; beside the magistrate to right, a little girl sits teaching a dog to walk on its hind legs.
