The English sportsman sits in a chair with his feet supported on a stool, gun in hand. He wears a hat with an enormous brim. A negro servant stands behind him (right) holding up an umbrella and a branch to beat off flies. A negro boy approaches his master, who grins delightedly, with a huge goblet on a salver. Below the design: "Make haste with the Sangaree, Quashie, and tell Quaco to drive the Birds up to me, I'm ready". Under a palm-tree (left) is a table covered with food: a shoulder of mutton (?), fish, a sucking-pig, a round of bee(?). On the ground are many bottles, some on their sides, a basket of pineapples and limes (or lemons), and a row of large jars: 'Royal Punch 5 gal:', 'Sangaree 5 Gal:', 'Brandy', 'Rum' [on its side], 'Sangrorum 10 Gal' [extra-large and close to the sportsman]; also a much smaller jar of 'Water' [broken], and a number of empty bottles. In the middle distance a negro runs, driving birds towards the sportsman. Near him in the middle distance, a second sportsman reclines on a settee; a negress holds an umbrella over his head. The scene is a flat sunny plain, with distant hills. From British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A tall fashionably dressed portrait painter, holding his crescent-shaped hat under his arm, stands between his subject (right) and the whole length painting of her which leans against the wall (left). The lady is fantastically fat, with huge lips. She wears a short-waisted décollétee dress (though her waist is undiscernible), and holds in both hands a small parasol. On the canvas she is transformed into Juno pouring out a libation for Jove, an eagle clutching thunderbolts; she wears quasi-classical dress, with breast and arms bare; one sandalled foot rests on a cloud. Her bulk is scarcely modified; the likeness remains, though the contour of face and lips is improved. Two half length portraits also lean against the wall. The Irish painter declaims: "A famous hand Madam!!! Your Eyes indeed are featured there, but where's the sparkling moisture, shineing fluid in which they swim? the Picture indeed has your dimples, but wheres the swarm of hilling Cupids that should ambush there? the lips to are figured out, but where's [the] dew, the pouting ripeness that tempts the taste in the original; your breasts too!! What paint Heaven!!! presumtuos Man!" She says, with eyes coyly dropped: "Oh Mr Flanegan You flatter me!!"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Four designs on one plate. All have punning titles. [1] A young calf, led by a butcher, runs off, throwing the man to the ground. A dog barks, an amused woman watches from a casement window. Scrawled on the cottage wall is 'H Soak for ever.' 'Pluck', a butcher's term for edible offal, was then pugilistic slang (from c. 1785). [2] A fat market woman on a shaggy pony has a turkey tied by the legs to the back of her saddle. Unknown to her a dog drags at its neck. An amused man watches from behind a tree. [3] A pig is being driven with a three-cornered yoke over its head. A man rides beside it; the horse puts a hind-leg over the animal's back so that the pastern is caught under the yoke. [4] A boy drags forward a bad-tempered pig by a cord tied to its hind-leg. A youth plies a whip, a dog barks. Beside them is a signpost: 'To Rumford'. 'Rusty', a slang term for ill-tempered."--British Museum online catalogue
