Depiction: Low Life Courtship introduces a British sailor (who has lost an eye and gained a wooden leg in the service of his country), pouring out a bumper of spirits and regarding with a longing eye a careless and semi-intoxicated-looking damsel, who, in spite of evident symptoms of dissipation, is represented as buxom, fresh- looking and well-favoured.
Signed in plate, lower left: "T. R.".
