"The interior of an inn bedroom, showing a large four-post bed with check curtains. A fat doctor, seated on the foot of the bed, is being forced to drink from a large pot held by a man wearing a check dressing-gown, nightcap, and slippers. A chambermaid leaning on her broom, a waiter, and a coachman stand within the open door (right), watching with amusement. Standing on a recessed window-seat (left) are medicine bottles and pill-boxes."--British Museum online catalogue
