Wine bottles litter the floor and piled high on the mantelpiece. In the right corner a chamber pot overflows. One man in the foreground has fallen backwards off his chair; as he lands prostrate on the floor, one of his intoxicated companions staggers toward him, oblivious to the fact that his wine is spilling out over the prostrate man's head.

A large stout man, with an expression of resignation on his face, walking between village houses, staggers under the weight of a drunken woman reposing on his back, a glass marked 'gin' in her raised right hand, her bosom exposed. On her lap sits a monkey holding on to the man's wig and thus pulling it off his head. A magpie is sitting on monkey's shoulders. Around the man's neck is a heavy chain with a huge padlock inscribed 'wedlock' hanging in the center. Behind the group, from a pigsty attached to the house on the left and inscribed, 'She is as drunk as David's sow' a pig sticks out its head. From the roof of the same house is suspended a sighboard showing two cats and decorated at top with bull's horns. Above the horns is an inscription, 'The Christian mans arms, or, the cuckolds fortune.'

"The March to Finchley"; scene at Tottenham Court (after the painting in the Foundling Museum) with soldiers gathering to march north to defend London from the Jacobite rebels; the crowd includes, in the foreground, a man urinating painfully against a wall as he reads an advertisement for Dr Rock's remedy for venereal disease, an innocent young piper, a drunken drummer, a young soldier with a pregnant ballad seller (her basket contains "God Save our Noble King" and a portrait of the Duke of Cumberland) and a Jacobite harridan selling newspapers, a milkmaid being kissed by one soldier while another fills his hat from her pail, a muffin man, a young chimney sweep, a gin-seller whose emaciated baby reaches for a drink. In the background a boxing match takes place under the sign of Giles Gardiner (Adam and Eve depicted), a wagon loaded with equipment follows the marching soldiers and, to the right, prostitutes lean from the windows of a brothel at the sign of Charles II's head; beyond the sunlight shines on Hampstead village on the hill."--British Museum online catalogue
