A comic nighttime scene: a man in his night cap stands in the entrance of his front doorway holding a blunderbuss under his arm and a lit candlestick in his hand. He and his dog both show alarm at the sight of a horse tied to the knocker on the door. In the background (left), around the corner of the house the moonlight reveals two young men who watch in amusement, one laughing behind his hand. On the ground are clam shells. A lantern above the door provides further light on the subject

A thin man in a cap pulled down on his head feeds a morsel of food to an obese woman who combs a wig in her hand as they sit on a sofa before a table laid with lunch. They are in a well-appointed sitting room decorated with a mirror above a fireplace with a mantel on which sits a clock, a sheet of music entitled 'Romance', and under a glass vitrine, a statuette of man holding a bird on his finger. The fire screen is decorated with an image of two love birds. On the left edge is only a portion of painting, but it shows a bird perched on the finger of the sitter's hand. The man's discarded hat and walking stick rest of a sofa to the left

"The candidate, stout and plainly dressed stands on a cask, bawling with outstretched hand at his audience, who are grouped below him, their heads only appearing, except for figure in the foreground. Here a lady (three-quarter length), a veil hanging from her hat over her face, and forming a background to her handsome profile, puts coins from a bag into the extended palm of a man, who gazes fixedly at her face, and who may be intended for a butcher. In the crowd, a fist strikes one man in the eye another is being slapped on the cheek. Three profiles gaze up cynically at the speaker, one is drinking."--British Museum online catalogue
