Summary:
Six women in a room fighting. Two women on the far left, claw at each other's hair while fighting over an object; a woman sits on the ground pleading over a baby as another woman stands over her in rage with her arm holding up an object to strike the woman with; a woman stands over a table with a broken vase spilling onto the floor, looking at another woman across the room with her hands on her hips; portraits of John Wilkes and the preacher George Whitefield on the wall, suggesting possible causes of dispute.
