An irate fishwife stands behind her trestle-table on which are fish. Her left hand is on her hip, in her right. she holds a coin towards 'Hans Turbot' (l.), whom she is scolding. He faces her, in profile to the left., holding a large turbot by the tail. She is a gaunt woman with a hideous profile, wearing a fiat hat and a short apron. Her r. wrist is tattooed, "whole-length 45", perhaps a memento of Wilkes and No. 45 of the 'North Briton.' Hans, who is ugly and corpulent, is scowling at the woman. In his right. hand is a cane on the head of which is engraved "H. S." On the right., and in front of the trestle-table, stands Count Cork Skrew, dressed in an old-fashioned manner in large three-cornered hat and tie-wig, and coat with wide cuffs. 1 May 1773
