The interior of a squalid room. A tailor seated cross-legged on a table, scissors and iron beside him, threading a needle, a garment on his lap. Under the table, on a low plank bed a burly infant, too large for its bed, is asleep. A flight of stairs (right) leads directly from the room, showing that it is a garret. Two women of low type leer into the room through an open doorway, one of whom, seated on the stairs, holds a glass, indicating gin. The tailor, though ragged, is of a more refined type. Garments hang on a line across the room. A fire burns in the grate; tea-things and half a loaf are on a stool. 8 December 1778
