Summary:
A stout, angry-looking woman stands full-face, holding out a torn paper which reads "Tithes list ..." in her right hand. In her left hand is a tobacco-pipe. She wears a cloak and a shapeless hat in which are a green ribbon favour and two peacock's feathers. In the background (left) two women sit on the grass drinking spirits; one says: "here's more look to Captain Rock"; the other: "Oh, Amen my jewil." Two of Rock's men, armed, stand in the background to the right.
