"A game is just finished: a pretty elegant girl (right) has nine tricks, and an elderly spinster in old-fashioned dress, with spectacles on forehead, has four. They argue, gesturing with their hands, while the two men watch the girl intently. A dog barks at her. The room is lit by two candles from a sconce. Two pictures are on the wall, an owl in a bush, and a half-length portrait of a man, who seems to be watching the game intently, finger on lip"--British Museum online catalogue

"Two men play at a small round card-table, the cribbage-board between them. One (left), fashionably dressed, has thrown his cards on the table, rising slightly from his chair, with a stare of triumph at his opponent. The latter, elderly and old-fashioned, holds his cards, and stares with melancholy surprise at those on the table. A large snuff-box lies on the floor, overturned. Behind them is a folding screen which partly conceals a picture: a man, dressed as a jester, performing a conjuring trick to astonished spectators."--British Museum catalogue
