Lady Cecilia Johnston, shown three-quarter length, turns slightly left but looking back over her shoulder as she reaches for a carafe on an elaborately carved hutch in a fashionably decorated room. She wears a dress with lace sleeves, her hair up in a lace cap. Behind her on the right, one cat is curled in an upholstered chair while another sits in front. Through the window behind, a winter scene, with snow covering the ground, a church, and a leafless tree

"Skeffington skips forward (left to right); his sharp-featured profile emerges, grinning, from a sharp-pointed collar and swathed cravat. His hair is swept forward in careful disarray, which, with his heavy whisker, goes ill with the black bag which flies outwards. His dress is a curious hybrid of embroidered court dress and knee-breeches, with the recent fashions of gathered sleeves ('Jean de Bry', see BMSat 9425), bulky neck-cloth, and cut-away tails showing bunches of seals. Below the neck-cloth is a double lace shirt-frill. See BMSat 9440."--British Museum online catalogue

He steps on a loose flag-stone from which a fountain of mud splashes over his stockings. The background is a stone wall; down it runs a pipe from which a muddy stream gushes on to the pavement.
