WIKI, pt 2/3:

...the Irish Jig is a caricature of Irish dancing (the dancer, in a red and green costume, is an interpretation of an Irish washerwoman scolding her wayward husband, gesturing angrily and frowning). If the Irish Jig is danced by a lady, it is about either the distressed wife scolding her husband or a washerwoman chasing taunting boys (or children in general) away who have dirtied her washing - the showing of the woman's fist symbolizes her wanting to beat up the children or the...
