Not on view

Inside a barber's shop, two customers are fitted with wigs, a dog urinates on a wig on the floor at left, and another man sits at right under three latticed windows, with more wigs supported by stands. Wig boxes are stacked on a shelf at upper left near a crude image of Absalom caught by his hair in a tree as his horse gallops away.
