- Abstract:
- On the right, a lady (Mrs. Catherine Macaulay) with an aquiline profile and wearing a morning gown, sits at a dressing-table; she is dipping a brush into a pot marked 'Rouge', other toilet implements and a looking-glass on the table. Her hair is in a grotesquely caricatured erection, with side curls, intended to ridicule the fashions of the day; on the top of it is a hearse drawn by six horses, decorated with enormous ostrich-feathers. Similar feathers adorn the heads of the horses. On the left behind the lady, a skeleton stands at a rectangular table grasping with both hands an hour-glass whose sands have run into the lower glass out the bottom onto the table. On the table there is also a knife. The base of the skeleton's spine is transfixed by a large arrow. On the wall behind the lady's dressing-table is a portrait bust of a clergyman, in profile to the right (Dr. Wilson).

- Abstract:
- "Three women walking in profile to the right beside the sea or a lake. Their head-dresses are caricatures of the prevailing fashion. The foremost walks with a closed parasol on a long stick like a shepherdess's crook; in her right hand is a small bag or basket. Her hair is in a pyramid, with curls, on it is a lace cap with lappets, and a flat hat trimmed with ribbons and feathers. She is followed by a very thin woman, whoise pyramid is decorated with more curls but with a smaller cap and hat, she holds a closed fan; behind walks a short stout woman with a frizzed wig bound by a ribbon. The dresses show the prevailing fashion for skirts, straight in front, puffed out at the back and showing the ankles. Miss Tittup, a character in Garrick's "Bon Ton", was played by Eliza Farren ... The tall thin lady is perhaps intended for Miss Farren..."--British Museum catalogue
