"A young woman sits despairingly on the edge of a bed, with the end of a garter round her neck; the other end dangles from the bed-tester. It is inscribed 'Tis expected every' and (round her neck) 'will do his duty'. She watches a servant holding a foppish and elderly naval officer, while he flourishes a cudgel. Bellows lie on the ground. The servant had discovered Miss Baily hanging, and after reviving her with bellows, had fetched the object of her affections and compelled him to marry her."--British Museum online catalogue. On the wall is a painting of Venus and Adonis with Cupid

In a well-furnished parlor, a woman (left) sits playing at a harpsichord as she turns to gaze with admiration at young military officer who looks at her with intimacy; an older officer to her left scowls at them, his hand in the breast of his vest. On the right another young woman leans her head in her hand, a bored, annoyed look on her face; her elbow is resting on a table on which sits her sewing basket; in her right hand she holds a scissors, her arm thrown back over the back of the upholstered chair. On the floor at her feet is a book "Tirumph of temper." A dog sits at her feet looking up at her. On the back well is a portrait of old woman. On the mantel is a sculpture of a roman chariot and horses
