Two collectors look through offerings in a shop. The dealer at right, bald except for a queue praises the portrait held by a tall thin man wearing a long coat and spectacles. The other customer, near the window looks at works in a second stand. Prints hung against the window panes are backlit. Mounted with four other scenes designed and etched by Rowlandson: 59.533.1022(2-5) and title page 59.533.1022(1).
