"Johnson is seated on the ground on the shore of the Firth of Forth; Boswell kneels upon him and playfully holds a fish to his open mouth, holding back the head of his unwilling friend. Behind Johnson stands Ritter, turning his back on the scene. Boswell, with Ogden under his arm, is dressed as in BMSat 7031, &c. In the middle distance (right) are three fishwives, grinning and pointing; they resemble Rowlandson's Billingsgate women. Two persons are in a boat or punt. On the horizon is the opposite shore."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Boswell (left) and Johnson (right) sit on opposite sides of a small square tea-table; Boswell sits between them on the farther side of the table, with a complacent expression, his right hand on his breast, his left held towards Johnson, as if displaying his friend. Johnson, with an expression of reflective melancholy, takes sugar with a pair of tongs, his tea-cup in his left hand. Mrs. Boswell clasps her hands ecstatically and smiles admiringly at Johnson. A foot-boy stands behind Johnson and Boswell holding a salver; he yawns violently, scratching his tousled head. A wall-clock shows that it is 12.10. A single candle in a sconce (left) lights the room."--British Museum online catalogue
