An etching in outline representing the interior of a room, with a door on the left, a circular table on the right. On the table is a dish on which sits a boar's head; a scroll on the table to the left reads "Reprieve for murder." A crutch is propped up against the back of the table. From the ceiling above the middle of the room hangs a birdcage with a yellow bird inside. Under the birdcage sits the singer Miss Anne Ford a guitar in hand; Anne was the daughter of Thomas Ford Clerk of Arraigns, an Old Bailey lawyer. She sings "si tutti de olberi". William, the third Earl of Jersay kneels at her feet and with joined hands says, "Believe my sighs my vows my dear &c" A second crutch lies on the ground beside him; he is much older and suffers from gout. The lawyer Ford enters the room from the left, hat under his arm as he regards the scene with amusement. See British Museum catalogue
