"A young woman, elaborately dressed, sits with downcast eyes in profile to the left at a table on which are a book and rosary. On her right sits, on a striped settee, a 'priest' wearing a skull-cap; a hat and cloak on a chair and stool show that he is a visitor. He holds a book, looking towards the 'nun' with a smile. The room is fashionably furnished with two sash-windows, in one of which stands a large vase of flowers. Between them is an oval picture of (?) the Temptation of St. Anthony. Beneath the title: 'At Twelve, I began to think of a Man, At Thirteen, I Sighed for a Man, At Fourteen I was Violently in Love with a Man, At Fifteen I run away with a Man. But he was a Very Pretty Man - therefore I hope youll Pardon me Sir.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"A couple flamboyantly dressed walk from left to right, followed by a footman who swaggers after them holding an umbrella resting against his shoulder, its ferrule end terminating in a small weather-vane. The man holds a quizzing-glass to his eye and a tasselled cane; the lady (left) holds a large fan, her left arm thrust through his right. He wears a large cocked hat, a bulky neck-cloth with floating ends, and loosely fitting half-boots. She wears a hat tied under her chin with vandyked trimmings and an enormous feather. A train trails on the ground. The servant wears a round hat with looped brim and cockade, enormous epaulettes, and a neck-cloth like his master's. The treatment is decorative, with no background."--British Museum online catalogue
