Exterior. A very fat woman, in the act of eloping with a military gentleman, has fallen off the ladder placed against the window, and of which a stale is broken, and lies sprawling on the top of her lover. An old man in night cap puts his head and a lighted candle out of the window. The post-boy, standing by the post-chaise, is laughing at the catastrophe; and a dog is barking. Signed: "Thos. Tegg Rowlandson scul". Lovers in a wooded landscape". Christie's. Live auction 7893. Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolours. Exterior. In a cavern by the sea shore, four sailors are disporting themselves with three mermaids; one other man is occupied with the boat which is hauled up on land; while a second man, an oar in hand, is prepared to do battle with a merman who is swimming towards them, his fists brandished in the air in sign of great rage. Interior. A man in hat and feather, with his posteriors and penis exposed, is kneeling on a bed and about to have connection with a girl seated on the same bed with shift, her only garment, up to her waist. Through the mantle-glass (left) the head of a man, apparently dressed like a pierrot, with horror depicted on his countenance, appears, and disturbs the amorous couple. There is a sofa to the left, and a guitar to the right of the composition.a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an ao ap aq ar as at au av aw ax ay az ba bb bc bd be Ashbee 1879.

The match is played by naked women of all shapes and sizes, who are putting forth their energies in the most vigorous and comical manner.

A couple, almost naked, upon a couch, are surprised by a spectre in armour, who brandishes an axe over them; great horror is depicted upon the faces of the guilty pair.
