Abstract:
"Three pretty young nuns stand behind a widely spaced iron grille; one of them sells netted silk purses to a handsome young British officer in full regimentals who gazes fixedly at them. Two return his gaze. Behind and on the extreme left, an ugly old officer stares at them through a lorgnette. Beside the three nuns is a fourth, old, ugly, sour, and duenna-like. The figures are half length or three-quarter length. Behind the nuns is a background of Gothic vaulting with a crucifix."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A close-up view of one of the 'pigeon holes' which flanked the upper gallery at Covent Garden. Heads closely packed together are framed in the lunette opening, six or seven rows receding one above the other in the centre. Most seem suffering from heat or discomfort, and except for one or two pretty young women are grotesquely caricatured. The centre figure in the front row, leaning on the parapet and apparently asleep, is a fat coachman in livery. An old man leans over, bleeding copiously at the nose. In the spaces left by the curve of the lunette in the upper corners of the design are groups symbolizing Comedy (left) and Tragedy (right): comic mask, pan-pipes, &c."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A bedroom scene. A lean and elderly man stands just within the open door (left), holding a lighted candle, and bowing hat in hand to one of the occupants of the bed, who sits up, doffing his nightcap with equal ceremony. The woman is defined by the bed-clothes; she lies on her face clutching the pillow. The visitor wears slippers with un gartered stockings and breeches open at the knee; in his pocket is a book 'Chesterfields Letters'. He says: "I am sorry Sir to intrude in this abrupt manner,-- but do you know Sir you are in bed with my Wife?" The other answers: "Sir, I beg you ten thousand pardons! let me request you will be seated, and she shall be at your service in the course of half an hour!" The men gaze at each other, warily intent, hostility predominant in the husband, alarm in his rival."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
