A gaily dressed young woman wearing a flat hat, ringlets, a handkerchief which displays her breast, and an apron over a quilted petticoat, stands at her shallow tub of oysters, a knife in her right hand, turning to smile towards a fashionably dressed young man (left) who ogles her, his right hand in his breeches pocket, his left resting on a cane. A black page in livery (right), wearing a turban ornamented with feathers and beads, smiles insinuatingly at her, holding out a bowl.  A high wall with placards, and large brick houses, probably at Billingsgate, form a background.  3 January 1788
