- Abstract:
- A muzzled bear sits up, as if begging, on a fat woman who lies on her back. She says: "Gemini! what a Weight! my poor dear Mr Dripping was quite a Feather to him". She wears a ribbon with a miniature portrait of a man around her neck; her hat lies on the ground beside her. The bear's keeper (right) raises his club, saying, "Down Bruin! I'll teach you to ride the high Horse". A dog (right) springs towards the bear. A man (left) runs off, saying, "D------m me I'll be off! . . . [etc.]".
