The interior of an inn bedroom. A man and a good-looking woman stand in night-attire with bare legs holding a sheet; a buxom chambermaid with a warming-pan enters (right); the man, who is lean and elderly, shakes his left fist in her face; she gapes stupidly. On the ground is a trunk, a pair of top-boots, a boot-jack, stays, and shoes. A lighted candle is in a basin on the floor (left). Behind is a large curtained bed with disordered bed-clothes. A door with carved panels indicates a dignified room. 1 august 1791. Etching and aquatint. Date: 1791. Dimensions: Height: 318 mm; Width: 408 mm. Medium: paper. Collection: British Museum. Damp sheets. (BM 1876,0510.108)
