A pretty young maid seated at a table is flirting with a footman leaning with his arms on the back of her chair. She is petting a cat; two kittens are playing in a basket on another chair. In the background, another maid, busy mending a garment, looks at them with disapproval and jealousy. Behind on the wall hangs a shelf with plates, a warming pan and a placard (playbill?) entitled, "The Rival Maids."

"A courtesan stands at a wash-tub, washing her last shift. She wears a cap over ringlets in curl-papers and a tattered petticoat, a shawl covers her naked shoulders. The room is squalid, with plaster falling from the bricks. Across the fireplace stockings hang on a string to dry. The corner of a bed appears on the right. On the table by the wash-tub is a small gin tankard. Under it is a pair of stays. A cat tries to reach a (broken) plate of cheese on a chair. On the floor, beside a fashionable high-crowned hat, lies a ballad: 'How happy were my days till now...'. Papers are thrust under the vertical bar of the casement window, one inscribed 'Admit Two to the Boxes'. Probably an imitation of Gillray's 'The Whores Last Shift', see British Museum Satires No. 5604."--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of an artisan's living-room. A young man, working at a carpenter's bench (left), turns round to look with pleased expectancy at a lottery ticket, which his wife holds out to him, alluringly inscribed with the royal arms, 'State Lottery Office L 30,000'. She is neatly dressed, wearing a hat; her apron is filled with a leg of mutton and vegetables. A child beside her has an open book, 'Road to Ruin', and looks anxiously at her mother. A well-dressed little girl plays with a cat. Simple prosperity is indicated by a well-filled hanging cupboard, and two shirts hanging on a line. On the wall is a print of Eve offering the apple to Adam."--British Museum online catalogue

"A kitchen scene [with a satire based on the fable of the "catspaw"]. A monkey with Wood's head squats beside a plump cat with the head in profile of Queen Caroline. She sits gazing at the fire with an eagerly expectant smile. He puts his left hand on her shoulder and takes her right paw which is supported on his knee, looking fixedly at her with greedy expectation. Between the bars of the grate are four chestnuts like large potatoes. These are inscribed respectively: 'Privileges', 'Rights', 'Liturgy', 'St Catherines'. Beside the grate and attached to a chain is a 'Kettle of Fish'. Behind the cat is a big trap with steel teeth inscribed '50 000 per Annum'. Behind it is a dresser, neatly arranged above a cupboard inscribed 'Lately from St Omers' [see British Museum Satires no. 13730]. On the dresser are a teapot and butterdish, each with a bust portrait of Bergami, and two cups, inscribed 'BB'. There are also pans inscribed 'Hash' and 'Stew', a 'Tinder' box and bottle of 'Brim-Stone'. On the chimneypiece, with other utensils, is a box of 'Matches'."--British Museum online catalogue
