"Six doughty doctors standing together in discussion, wearing wigs, tailcoats and carrying tricorne hats and walking canes; one at left thoughtfully taps his mouth with the handle of his cane, one at centre, seen from behind, holds his hat behind his back in both hands, a sword at his side; another at right leans forward solidly, resting his folded arms on his cane."--British Museum online catalogue
