Four women, three scantily and immodestly clad, are grouped in a room. Boreas, a head emerging from clouds (left), puffs a blast at them. Below him sits the fourth, a fat woman whose upturned dress reveals a pair of drawers (resembling masculine breeches). On the wall is a large thermometer. Through a doorway (right) an elderly rake, wearing a hat and holding a large stick, leaves the room, following a woman who looks back alluringly. Over the door, much tilted, is a portrait (three-quarter length) of a woman in Elizabethan dress. The women (one old and withered) appear to be courtesans. Description from the British Museum.
