This print shows three people dressed in old-fashioned clothes. They are acting out a scene from a play. The scene is from The Beggar's Opera, a popular play at the time, and it's interesting that the print depicts a specific moment in the story, with the characters Peachum, Mrs Peachum, and Polly. You can learn more about this type of art by looking into the work of artist: Clint, George.
