The interior of a well-furnished room. A plainly dressed man, wearing a hat, threatens a hairdresser with his fist and a shovel taken from the fireplace; he is being restrained by a neatly dressed maid-servant. A lady (r.) seated in an arm-chair watches the scene complacently. The hairdresser looks towards a dog (l.) which is biting his leg. In his hand is a tress of long false hair, a pair of curling-tongs is pushed through the buttonholes of his coat, in his hair or wig are stuck hairpins and a comb. The lady's hair is dressed in fashionable pyramid decorated with feathers, lace, and large curls. Over the chimney-piece, partly visible on the right., is a portrait of a lady in Elizabethan dress. The high, panelled door (l.) has a carved lintel. An elaborately patterned carpet covers the floor.  11 March 1778
