Three woman and a man advance from the left with a blanket on which to toss an unsuspecting artist who is seated at the right side of the print. All display the excessive hair styles of the period. The individuals with the blanket appear to be characters from a print which hangs on the wall behind them, "The back-side of a front row" (British Museum cataloge 5430), who have come to punish the artist for his caricatures. The artist holds in his hand "Miss Shuttle cock" (British Museum catalogue 5376) which also bears the monogram RS, thereby identifying the artist as Richard Sneer. Another print on the wall, entitled "Lex talionis", depicts a person being tossed in a blanket
