- "The interior of an old-fashioned kitchen with raftered roof. A buxom maidservant with an alluring glance shows a handsome young plumber that the tap over the sink (left) needs renewing, since the water splashes widely. He carries a coil of lead piping, a new tap, tools, and a ladle for melting lead. Behind them (right) an irate old man wearing a dressing-gown advances upon the unconscious pair. Above the sink is a stone panel inscribed 'Anno Domini 1730 George II Rex'. Dishes are ranged on and under a dresser (right) on which sits a cat beside a bottle of 'Gin'. Hams hang from the roof and a bird is in a cage high on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
