"Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) in bed, supported on her right elbow, looks fixedly towards a warming-pan held by a stout woman who approaches the foot of the bed. In the perforations of the pan are stuck three ostrich feathers; a monk, holding up a crucifix, gazes down at it. Mrs. Fitzherbert wears a large frilled cap and a nightdress with ruffles. The fringed bed-curtains are looped up. On the extreme right is part of a draped table on which are a cup, bowl, and a large urn (probably materials for caudle). On the wall are three pictures: one, the 'Royal Hunt', a man galloping beside hounds; this has the motto 'Ich Ich' (in place of 'Ich dien') with three ostrich feathers. It is flanked by two profile heads facing each other: one is 'Wig', the other 'Torey', but they do not appear to be portraits. The carpet is patterned with Prince of Wales's feathers."--British Museum online catalogue

"In the foreground (right) Henry and Augustus Barry are being pushed through a doorway and down a staircase by a servant. In the background (left) is the interior of a room lit by candle-sconces and a hanging chandelier, with persons seated in a semicircle on upright chairs: on the extreme left the Prince of Wales watches the ejection with a reflective smile. Next him sits Lord Barrymore (Newgate), wearing an apron, in the attitude of Scrub in the 'Beaux Stratagem' (see BMSats 7993, 7997), and saying, "Alas I fear it will be my turn next." On his left is a man wearing a star (Duc de la Pienna), saying, "Dehors Dehors"; he puts his arm behind his wife who stands up, saying, "oh Mon Dieu I shall certainly Miscarry if you dont turn out these Ugly Deformed Wretches." A servant in livery, pushing Henry Barry (Cripplegate) by the shoulders, says, "by Gar you ugly Mugs was frighten the Duchess into fits make haste or I was Cripple yow." Barry, who wears a high-crowned hat, answers, clenching his fists and scowling, "Cripple me butt we'll make her Miscarry if Ugly faces will do it." 'Hellgate', who is descending the stairs on the extreme right, looks round to say, "Bl--st my Bl--dy b------g Eyes but we'll be revenged"; he carries a bludgeon. Both brothers wear long and tight breeches reaching almost to the ankle and have cropped hair, cf. BMSat 8040, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
