- "An elderly Scots bonnet laird or farmer stands repeating the song, which is a complaint of the extravagance and misconduct of his wife. He wears a round Scots bonnet and a tartan plaid over his coat, long stockings, and shoes tied with strings, tattered gloves from which his fingers protrude; a cane is suspended from his left wrist. He holds in his left hand a small tankard with an open lid indicating in London 'a dram', or gin. In the background is a small house, partly visible on the left, outside which stands the wife, drunk and flourishing a similar tankard; a wine-bottle lies at her feet, a man leans from the window. On the right is a farm building with a horse, two cows, and a broken fence. In the foreground (right) is a large thistle."--British Museum online catalogue
