- Abstract
-
"In the foreground a ragged couple superintend the throwing of sticks at objects poised (or spiked) on pegs. The very fat woman bawls, holding sticks, and extends a greedy palm to a countryman. She wears a hat and cloak, a soldier's tunic, a short tattered skirt, and fragments of boot or gaiter, and has a large pouch slung from the waist. Another yokel advances behind the first, both are eagerly intent. A dog stands beside them. The man, who is thin and rapacious, stands behind his pegs holding out one of a bundle of sticks to the second customer. In the background is the crowded fair: Punch postures on a platform; a flag with a St. Andrew's cross flies from a church tower."--British Museum online catalogue.
