- The figure of the miserable footboy who attends the "Old Maid", copied from William Hogarth's Morning from The four times of the day series; he wears a hat and carries a large prayer book under his right arm. Shivering and gritting his teeth as he walks, he tucks his left hand in the breast of his coat. The background consists of a few scratches for clouds and puddles.
