Abstract:
"Whole length caricature portrait of a man playing the musette or pastoral oboe with a double pipe and drone resembling bag-pipes. His attitude is that of a man seated on a high stool, but there is no stool and he is chiefly supported by a wooden leg formed of one of the two pipes of his instrument. The bag of the musette, held under his right arm, is a pig; he holds the animal's hind leg, which forms the second pipe, as if playing on it; in his right hand he holds its tail. He turns his head in profile to the right towards an open book of music on a music-stand. He is elderly and wears a curious tie-wig terminating in two corkscrew ringlets."--British Museum online catalogue

A satire on Madame Mara: She sits in an armchair decorated with Masonic symbols which is in the center of a concert room, with a boarded floor and low platform along the back for the performers. She sings the lines "Oh, Oh, de roasta beef-a de charmante pudding O"; in her hands is an open music book titled "Oh the road beed of Old England, Fieldings popular song. The plebeian audience sit or stand along the right and left foreground. On the left a lady asks her neioghbor, "Did she sing this sogn at the Abbey?" He responds, "She never sung so well as the Abbey in her life." In the center foreground sits a dog who watches the vocalist. The wall is decorated with candle-sconces and a placard with the "Rules to be observed in this meeting" which jabs at the plebeian audience. One man performs on a salt-box, another with marrow-bone and cleaver while yet another puts a Jew's harp in his mouth; a fourth plays a bladder bridge.
