The Bull and Mouth.
Woodward Del. Rowlandson scul.
by Tho.s Tegg No.11 Cheapside.

An elderly ugly and obese 'cit', seated full face in an arm-chair, yawns cavernously, with closed eyes. He wears a nightcap. His comely and meretricious-looking young wife holds up her fingers above his head, to signify the cuckolds horns, while she slips a letter into the hand of a handsome young military officer who stands in the doorway behind her, a finger on his nose.
BM Satire 11145.
