Depiction: Two Jewish clothesmen are securing a parcel of cast-off garments at the door of a highly respectable mansion, whereat a buxom housemaid is disposing of her master's old apparel. In the street beyond is shown a milkman adding up his score - a mode of calculation prevalent in the artist's day, although it has become obsolete long enough ago in the metropolis.
