Abstract:
"An elegant schoolmistress in a neat parlour addresses two visitors, a fat and over-dressed farmer's wife with a daughter of about fifteen, similarly dressed and resembling her mother. On the right is a piano with open music, and a chair on which is propped a needlework picture of Charlotte mourning under a weeping willow, at a tomb with an urn inscribed 'Werter'. The governess holds in her hand a card: 'Terms of B[on] Tons School'; she points to the picture, saying, "You would perhaps like the Young Lady to work something in silks Madam! there is a pretty subject, Charlotte at the Tomb of Werter". The visitor exclaims: "A very pretty piece I pertest! my Dater has a Genii for Drawing! Penelope my dear! you shall work Charlotte at the Tub of Water". The girl, delighted, answers: "La Mother! I shall like that! you know Mounseer Gumboge says: I make Water as natural as Life". Trees are seen through an open window."--British Museum online catalogue

In a well-furnished room Tom and Kate waltz gracefully. Logic, at the piano (right), looks over his shoulder at the pair with a delighted grin. Jerry sits on a couch, with a second courtesan (Sue). Both women wear evening dress with long gloves. On a table are decanters, fruit, &c. There are wide folding doors flanked by pictures that amplify the subject

Mathews (left) gives a selection from his "Entertainments"; he stands behind his accustomed small draped table, which is lit by candles in place of the usual lamps. A pianist sits at the grand piano. The King stands as if making a speech: he is giving an imitation of John Kemble, evoked by Mathews's imitation thought by the King "too boisterous". On his right sits Marchioness of Conyngham, on his left Princess Augusta. Knighton stands behind the former. Five men (portraits) stand behind the royal settee: Liverpool, Wellington, and Hertford are recognizable. The room has an ornate cornice and Ionic pillars. Behind Mathews are two tall Chinese folding screens.-- See British Museum catalogue
