Two figures face each other made of tools, implements, &c. On the left a carpenter, very thin and erect, is composed of a straw tool-bag, containing saw, plane, &c., supported on a pair of compasses for legs. The head is a mallet on which is a glue-pot, with gimlet, chisel, &c. An axe serves as an arm. The gardener bends politely; the body is a watering-pot supported on a pair of shears. The head is a nosegay of roses, &c. tied to a spade; roses and lavender lie in a piece of drapery that serves as apron. A rake and hoe are thrust through the handle of the watering-pot. Below the Carpenter: 'With Bowels lank and Head of Mallet The Joiner longs to taste a Sallad,' Below the gardener: 'Old Nosegay quite alert and busy, Has one to sell and asks a tizzey.'
