"The interior of the temple, Mirth seated on a raised seat holding a book; she wears classical draperies and her hair is wreathed with vine leaves. On each side of her is a row of worshippers: on the left men hold their sides with laughter, one lies on the floor; on the right men and women jest together coyly, a lady looks at a man from behind her fan. Behind Mirth are two pictures, one (left) of Don Quixote with Sancho Panza and Rozinante, the other (right) Falstaff standing with shield and sword. On each of the two side walls are three busts in niches; on the right are 'Vol[taire]' and 'Stern[e]'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sow takes in its teeth the coat-tails of a fat parson who lies face downward on the stones of the sty. From his pocket projects a 'Tything Table'. Three small pigs scamper about the sty. A yokel in a smock-frock enters with a raised club to release the parson. Another with a pitchfork leans over the low paling with a grin; a small boy much amused looks over; a woman with a child in her arms watches with amusement."--British Museum online catalogue
