"Two men in a brothel, one sitting on the right uncorking a bottle, the other putting his arm around the shoulder of a prostitute, leering as she adjusts his cravat, urged by the Madam who rises from a sofa in front of a round table with punch-bowl and glasses, one hand on a paper; a screen behind to right, two oval landscapes, a cartouche and a picture of Venus among rocks on the wall behind."--British Museum online catalogue

"A young military officer wearing a gorget stands at the door of a house, his left hand on the knocker, looking up at two courtesans who lean out of a sash-window over the door. He puts a coin into the hat of a disabled sailor who stands behind him, supported on crutches, his forehead bandaged. Behind the sailor are two itinerant musicians: a man carrying a rectangular box, and a woman turning the handle of a mechanical organ which is slung round her neck, her mouth is open as if singing. The door of the house is ornamented with a carved wooden pediment, and bears a plate "Mrs Mitchel". The knocker has a lion's head. Only the corner of the house appears, the street is "Cleveland Row". A brick wall extends from the house to the left, over it appear trees, and a notice-board inscribed "Men Traps are laid here: every Night also ...." On the wall a placard is pasted, "Dr Leaks Pills. . . "."--British Museum online catalogue
