Drawing shows a London constable confronting a chestnut elderly vendor, who sits huddled in a broken chair with a large tray of chestnuts on his lap; above him is delineated the word "Fun", and behind him stands the Fun jester, tossing out his glove, while his black cat sits on an open book and winks at the viewer.
