A group of macaronis in a dressing room, one having his hair dressed by a flamboyant hairdresser and his young black assistant, another practising fencing, a third plays with his pet cockatoo, another looks down at a servant boy who is spilling a tray of cups. The pictures on the wall allude to the action ("Morning Devotion") and themes (Rotten Row Macaroni) in the print; also an ornate mirror is centered in the room on the wall.
