"A provincial Assembly Room, with dancers in violent action in the background, in country dance or cotillion. In the foreground is an ugly foppish and conceited fellow standing with raised coat-tails and his back to the fire. He holds cocked hat and cane, and grimaces and bows towards a pretty young woman, one foot on a fragment of her dress. She walks away from him to the left., taking her chair with her. Another pretty girl sits against the wall (r.) holding a closed fan. The dancers are bucolic and ugly. The walls are decorated with candle-sconces; a clock on the chimney-piece points to 1.25."--British Museum online catalogue

"A design partly bisected by a vertical line. The same lady sits (left) directed to the left at her dressing-table, wearing only a long chemise or petticoat, and slippers. On the right she sits, in the same attitude but directed to the right, fully dressed at the same dressing-table. In undress she is almost bald; a wig of naturally-dressed hair is on a stand on the table. She has an over-long neck and skinny arms. On the the table (left) are her fan, a locket suspended on a ribbon, cosmetic-boxes, and a bottle labelled 'Wrinkles'. When dressed her neck is concealed by a lace ruffle on a chemisette, she has long rucked sleeves, in her gloved hand is her fan. She wears a high-waisted gown under which her legs are defined; she wears elaborately embroidered stockings with flat slippers. Her wig seems to be luxuriant natural hair; she wears an ear-ring. On the dressing-table are boxes, a bottle of 'Lavender', and tickets inscribed 'Opera' and 'Cards'. She looks young and handsome, the dress (not exaggerated) effectively concealing her weakest points."--British Museum online catalogue

"The room of an impecunious family. The father, probably an actor, writer, or artist, sits on a three-legged stool, with a little girl on each knee, one flourishes a whip and tugs at his shirt frill, the other pulls his pigtail. A younger child rides astride his leg, and a little boy tugs at his coat-tail; both flourish whips. An infant in a wicker cradle screams. The man turns up his eyes in melancholy resignation. His stockings are ungartered, and his dress suffers from the too-active children. Behind is an open fire, with a kettle beside it. The mother, neatly dressed, cooks, holding a frying-pan on a grid attached to the grate. A small round table (right) is laid for a scanty meal. From a line across the room hangs neatly folded washing. The chimneypiece is covered with medicine-bottles, &c, among which is a bust of a man. Above is an unframed picture of Diogenes in his tub. On the wall are also a small (broken) mirror, and a print of a man bent under a towering pile of sacks. On the boarded floor is an open book: a picture of a sow with many sucking-pigs faces: All the pretty little ones and their Dam Oh! Oh! Oh."--British Museum online catalogue
