Marriage à-la-mode, pl. 3
Hogarth, William, 1697-1764 · (c) April 1, 1745
Shown is the interior of a dispensary where the viscount has brought his child-mistress to visit M. de la Pillule whose remedy has not cured her venereal disease; a large, well-dressed woman (perhaps a procuress) looks angrily at the young man and opens a knife, while the quack polishes his glasses.
