A thin man stands in profile to the left, in the corner of a picture-gallery, inspecting through a glass a picture of a nude and buxom nymph or Venus. He holds a long cane and a 'Catalogue of Paintings'. He has a long pigtail queue and wears a cocked hat. Three other pictures are visible, all of nude women in the manner (burlesqued) of 'high art'. Beneath the design is etched: 'The Witty Wine Merchant. Ay he will Wholesale you New Wine, and anon retail you old wit - Shakespier.'  11 June 1792
