Abstract: "No.1: A small dinner-table, largely covered by a pale leg of mutton behind which sits the irate husband, carving-knife and fork in hand. His wife opposite (right) glares at him, two youths look anxious. He says: "Its rod! not fit to eat! - these are the blessed effects of boiling Mutton in a clath!!" A dog watches him. On the wall (right) is a framed picture of 'Peace and Concord', two allegorical figures."--British museum online catalogue
