"A portrait-painter painting a family group of a man and wife and their little boy. The group (right) is raised on a low semicircular platform, the couple sit on a high-backed settee without arms, the little boy on a stool in front of his mother. The child, though in his ordinary clothes, is holding a cupid's bow and a sheaf of arrows (reminiscent of the family portrait in the 'Vicar of Wakefield'); a large quiver holding arrows is slung across his shoulders, a wreath is on his head; he yawns violently. The man, in profile to the left, is obese and wears a short bushy wig, a dove sits on his left wrist; only the toes of his shoes reach the ground. His wife sits on his right holding a dove on her right hand; she turns towards her husband, looking straight forward with a fixed and painful smile; she wears ringlets and a cap of lace and ribbons on her high-dressed hair. The artist (left) stands at his easel which supports a large canvas and is placed close to his sitters. He wears spectacles, a bag-wig, and ruffled shirt, and holds a palette in his left hand. He looks towards his sitters with an insinuating smile, which, together with his attitude and the figure of the man sketched on the canvas, shows that he is intent on flattery. High up on the wall behind him are two oval bust portraits, one (left) of a clergyman, the other of a lady. Behind the sitters is a tall screen of several leaves."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A lean and grotesquely ugly old parson, wearing cap and gown, sits in his college room with a pretty young woman on his knee. She puts an arm round his neck and warms a foot at a blazing fire, on which stands a large coffee-pot. Her (large) straw bonnet and gloves are on the ground. Through a high Gothic window (right) two other Fellows look in, much amused. Behind him and against his chair is a table covered with punch-bowl, lemons, a decanter, bottles of 'Gin', 'Rum', and 'Coniac', and a jar of 'Preserved Ginger', &c. On the floor beside it is a huge volume: 'Doomsday Book', with other books, one being 'Arratin' [Aretino], another (open) 'A Master of Arts / a Fellow Feeling for the human Race'. With these are spectacles, cork-screw, long pipe, tobacco-jar. On the high chimney-piece are a nymph disrobing, candlestick, medicine-bottles, jug, and a framed 'Oxford almanack'. Beside it hang a violin and bow. On the wall hang a chess-board and a bag, as in British Museum Satires No. 12161, with a notice: 'Term begins -- Term ends -- Long Vacation'. British Museum Satires No. 10811 by Rowlandson has the same title (from Mackenzie's novel)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A fat elderly woman walks (left to right) over rough cobbles, in the teeth of a strong wind against a deluge of rain; her contour is global and fills the greater part of the design. She holds a lighted lantern and clutches a bottle of cordial and a bundle. She wears a hooded cloak, a flat straw hat over a white cap, and pattens. Near her (right) runs a shivering little chimney-sweep, bare-legged, and carrying his tools and soot-bag; he is shouting or 'crying the streets' for custom. Behind her (left) is an aged watchman, leaning with folded arms on the front of his watch-box, asleep. His lighted lantern hangs above his head."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A scene in a College cloister, indicated by a wall and Gothic vaulting. A pretty and buxom girl carrying milk-pails suspended from a yoke is embraced by a young man in cap, gown, and bands who leans towards her through a casement window. She disregards her milk-pails; one, containing two infants, tilts upwards, the other, full of milk, correspondingly descends and a spaniel greedily laps the milk. On the extreme left a lean elderly parson, hideous and grotesque, similarly dressed, watches intently."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A hideous old miser sits between fire (right) and table (left) snuffing a candle; he ignores a man seated opposite him, who registers agonized entreaty. Both are three-quarter length. On the table is a large book: 'Table of Interest'. Over the chimney-piece is a placard, the right side cut off by the margin of the design. 'Stock Ex[change], Bank Stock, 3 Pr Cents, Imperial [Loan], Omnium [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11716], South Sea, Exchequer [Bills], Lottery Tick[ets]'. A portrait of the miser above his head shows him gleefully weighing coin, with money-bags beside him. The room is small and poverty-stricken with a casement window, and a skeleton-like rat scampering on the window-ledge. Through an open door (left) is seen the profile of a grotesquely malevolent old hag. ..."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
