- Depiction: A stalwart-looking bully has suddenly burst into an apartment. He has seized and is securely holding an alarmed individual, whose hat is thrown off and his wig is knocked awry. His pigtail is rigid with terror. He is standing on tiptoe, his limbs paralysed with fear, while a very picturesque-looking Cyprian, with hair and dress in somewhat dishevelled condition, is deliberately exploring the pockets of the victim.
- Item description: Same style as "Admiring Jew".
