- Abstract:
- "A fat 'cit', wearing a short brown wig, sits almost full-face between fire (left) and round table (right) on which are decanter, steaming glass, and smoking pipe. His face is contorted by a violent sneeze; in his left hand is his snuff-box, his right holds a pinch of snuff near his face. On his knee is a paper headed Parliamentary Debates. His dog looks up from between his feet, startled and annoyed. On the chimneypiece, the right part of which is visible, are a bust of Morpheus, a large shell, a squatting and obese Chinese nudity. An oval bust portrait is on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue
