High-class courtesans (pink arrows) mingle in the theatre foyer outside
the boxes. The central character is Colonel George Hanger (later Lord
Coleraine). Colonel George Hanger carries a thick club under his left
arm that he called his "Supple-Jack". Colonel George Hanger is intent
upon closely examining two attractive courtesans immediately in front
of him, so intent indeed, that he is unaware of a pickpocket relieving
him of his watch from his fob! Note that the pickpocket wears a hat
that helps hide his face. Two more courtesans are in the foreground
behind the pretentious victim. To the right foreground is an older man
with an optical piece, stepping on an elderly lady's gown. This elderly
matron appears alarmed. To the far left, an older woman accepts a payment.
