Lady Conyngham sits at a table in front of a fireplace, quill pen in hand, writing a letter by candlelight; her large figure is exaggerated and her legs are spread far apart, causing her nightgown to billow. A clock sits on the mantle in front of her. In the background on the right, a bed in which Lord Conyngham sleeps can be seen beyond a curtain; a cloud of dreams rises from his head, filled with a crown and the word "Sinecures." A cat sleeps on a stool beside the bed

Abstract:
From her bed with bed curtains, an ill-looking woman with an imploring look on her face from her bed reaches for her nurse who is asleep in an armchair with her back to her patient and her feet on a cushion. She is very fat and coarse looking as she sits in front of a fire. The candle stick has fallen from the table and lies unobserved smoking on the floor at her feet, the snuffer also on the floor beside a cat who grabs the food from a plate that has also fallen to the floor. The table by the nurse's elbow holds medicine bottles as well as dishware. More medicine bottles are on the mantel and at her feet. A pot warms over the fire
