Abstract:
A group of twelve man and women of various ages and walks of live -- tradesmen, a clergy, a spinster, a military officer, a gentleman in shackles, a servant, a frail, sickly man, etc. -- stand full length facing the viewer. Above their heads are brief expressions of their 'wants': "I want a job"; "I want more customers"; "I want a husband"; "I want for death", etc. Only an obese gentleman on the right is content: "I want for nothing"; next to him, the military officer with a monocle says, "I don't know what I want."

Two huntsmen are seated at a table outside a wayside inn, one of whom turns to take on his knee a maidservant, a pretty girl who holds a jug in her right hand, and places a hand on her breast; the other (right) eats voraciously a slice of the roast beef. Behind, the innkeeper hurries from the door with a punch-bowl. At a horse-trough (left), placed under the inn-sign of a leaping stag, two saddle-horses are drinking; an ostler stands beside them."--British Museum online catalogue
