Three seated customers are swathed in sheets: A fat man (left) is being lathered by a woman who holds a barber's dish and applies a soap-ball to his chin.  A hunchback stands on a stool cutting off the hair of a man who sits full-face; part is already cropped.  On the right a barber curls the hair of a customer who yells with pain.  Behind is a shelf holding a bottle and glass (left) and a wig-block (right).  For the penny barber cf. BMSats 7604, 7605, 8027.   20 September 1793
