A hand-coloured print of two people talking. The man on the left has a protruding belly and teeth and the woman on the right is thin with her body bent in such a serpentine manner as to accommodate the expanse of the man.

This is typical of Rowlandson’s love of humour which lies in the appearance of individual figures rather than in a situation. The maxim quoted at the foot of the print is by Fulke Greville, an Elizabethan courtier. Inscribed in the plate: Pubd Novr. 20, 1802 by R. Ackermann N 101 Strand / Rowlandson inv
