Summary
Print shows an aristocratic-looking couple in a street or courtyard. The woman is standing, facing front, next to a wall, urinating beneath her dress. She holds the hat, umbrella, and walking stick (emblems of nobility) belonging to the man who is squatting behind her and whom she attempts to shield by holding her apron out to one side. The man has a grimace on his face, his trousers are bunched at his knees, and he holds a piece of paper with which to wipe himself after defecating.
