Middle Temple Macaroni mb-height 3667 Well dressed figures are leaving

Well dressed figures are leaving the church on foot and in carriages

whilst holding out a smaller basket to passers by

In the middle distance a man stands behind another man and distracts him by tickling his ear

steps from the pavement under the hooves of approaching carriage horses
