"A fat gouty invalid sits full face in a high-backed armchair beside his bedroom fire (left). He registers anguish as a young naval officer seizes his left hand, and tramples on his left. foot. An old nurse, followed by a man (right), pursue the officer into the room, much dismayed. A barking dog runs in front of them. Medicine bottles are ranged on the chimney-piece, a kettle stands on the fire, a high trivet with a dish is by the fender. At the invalid's right hand are a crutch and a round table with bowl and medicine bottle. A bird is in a cage."--British Museum online catalogue

"Wardle stands in a bedroom addressing a crowd in the street below through an open sash-window flush with the floor. Behind him stands Mrs. Clarke (left), with arms outstretched, pointing at Wardle, and declaiming: "And Clarke said unto Felix. Thou art the Man- behold the Furniture! and Felix Trembled". Wardle, fashionably dressed and wearing Hessian boots, stands with clasped hands and flexed knees. He says: "Good People of the United Kingdom suspend your judgement for the present till I get this woman placed in the pillory-I never did any thing naughty with her no more than the child unborn-it was all for the good of my Country I assure you I am as firm a patriot as ever purchased a convex Mirror, or a red turkey Carpet". The heads and shoulders of the proletarian and much amused spectators are closely grouped on the extreme right, with a background of town houses. Behind Mrs. Clarke is a draped dressing-table on which stands a bottle of 'Ratifie' and glasses. The curtains of the bed form a background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue
