"Three grotesquely ugly old maids stoop delightedly over a Cupid who sleeps against a rose-bush, arrow in hand, his unstrung bow beside him. On the back of one sits an ape; a lap-dog is beside her. A parrot sits on the bonnet of another, the third kneels. On a mound (right) a cock stands crowing: 'Cock a doodle doo.'"--British Museum online catalogue

A scene from Tristram Shandy in which Susannah stands holdings her nose with her lefthand while in her right she holds a candle over the cradle where the swandled infant Tristram lies with a plaster on his nose. She addressed the doctor with obvious fury, her mouth agape. On the left Dr. Slop raises his right fist at her while in his left he holds a cataplasm in a ladle, ready to fling at her. His hat lies at his feet, and his wig is ablaze. Obadiah stands behind him carrying in his hands a chamber pot and a bowl, a medicine bottle tucked under his arm. The two men stand before a screen. The walls of the room are hung with portraits and a mirror; a grandfather's clock showing the time as 6:15 stands against the wall behind the cradle and Susannah. Two medicine bottles sit on a table partially hidden behind the screen. In the foreground lies an over-turned chair

Abstract:
"Two barristers in wig and gown fight furiously with umbrellas. The aggressor (right), with outstretched left fist, rushes at his enemy with a closed umbrella which terminates in a long spike. The other, Adolphus, with legs wide astride, uses an open umbrella; his brief-bag swings from his arm. From a door on the right a constable rushes forward, holding out his crowned staff. The lower part of a staircase is on the left. Above the combatants: 'Full often we're Told & true it may be That two of a Trade can never agree'."--British Museum online catalogue
