Tom and a wealthy old woman are being married in the dilapidated church of St. Marylebone. The bride has only one eye and growths on her forehead; the IHS on the wall behind her serve as a mock halo. In contrast the old woman is attended by a beautiful young woman who has already caught Tom's eye. In the background on the left, the elderly pew opener pushes Sarah Young, carrying Tom's child in her arms, and Sarah's mother; she shakes her keys in their faces to prevent them from entering the church to stop the marriage. Two dogs in the lower left of the image mirror the courtship of Tom and his bride; the courted dog has only one eye. The clergyman is assisted at the altar by a clerk, and a charity-boy kneels at the bride's feet offering a hassock. The Poor Box on the left is covered with a cobweb; there is a large crack down the center of the slab with the numbered commandments on the wall behind the clergyman

A scene in Bedlam with Tom half-naked and in a state of distress attended by Sarah Young, a clergyman and a warder; in the background, other inmates (including one who believes himself to be God and has cheap prints of saints pinned to his cell wall). Two elegantly dressed female visitors whisper together, the one holding a fan against her face to shield from her view an inmate in a cell who believes he is King and sits naked, save for a crown, urinating on to his straw bed. The wall and the banister of a staircase to right are covered with various graffiti including calculations of longitude and an image of the reverse of a coin, lettered "Britannia/1763", and the name of a well-known prostitute, Betty Careless
