Not on view
A scene between decks, with a woman at center surrounded by admiring sailors. She wears chemise and petticoat, inscribed "Gum Elastic," with two huge pockets inscribed "Japan Old China" and "Tea," a cask of "Coniac" and a canister are tied to her waist, and a bottle of "Otto or Roses" is between her breasts. Her hat and gown hang from a nail at right. She puts her hand amorously on the smiling sailor's head. Another sailor sits behind him, smoking and drinking. There are chests of "Souchon" and "Congo" tea, and bottles of "arrack."
