DescriptionThe harlot (Moll Hackabout) has just arrived in London from the countryside. She is welcomed in the street by the brothel keeper (Elizabeth 'Mother' Needham), who's face is covered with pox marks. A gentleman (Colonel Charteris) stands in a doorway in the background and looks on. Just to the left of the women, a man on horseback knocks over a stack of pots.
