Pug the Painter (the Idea Box of a Connoisseur) is a monkey seated on a table that is decorated with the carved face of a judge on the side. He paints a canvas supported on an easel and holds paint brushes and palette in his right hand. From a speech bubble he says: " A marvellous effect by G-d." At the left an owl is perched on a stack of books and holds a sheet of paper in his claw with the words "Catalogue of some capital pictures lately consigned from abroad" and from his mouth a speech bubble: "I think Mr. Pug you may keep down your sky a little more."
