In a bedroom of The Bagnio, the mortally-wounded Earl leans on a table, the countess kneeling before him with clasped hands. Behind her on the right Silvertongue escapes through the window. On the left the watchmen stand in the doorway with startled expressions. The floor is strewn with clothing including a hooped petticoat, masks, the countess's shoes and her stays. The painting above the door, the mural on the back wall, and the portrait near the window illustrate the theme

Lady Conyngham sits at a table in front of a fireplace, quill pen in hand, writing a letter by candlelight; her large figure is exaggerated and her legs are spread far apart, causing her nightgown to billow. A clock sits on the mantle in front of her. In the background on the right, a bed in which Lord Conyngham sleeps can be seen beyond a curtain; a cloud of dreams rises from his head, filled with a crown and the word "Sinecures." A cat sleeps on a stool beside the bed

"Inscription in the upper right. corner: 'A Serio Comic Scene that befel the Grocers Wife at Norwich Or Mrs Figgs bottom exposed owing to the bottom of Mr Figgs Whiskey breaking through.' The two-wheeled gig has stopped at the door of an old-fashioned grocer's shop. A plump woman stands on the ground behind the shafts, naked between waist and stockings, the hole in the floor of the gig having scraped up her petticoats. A scene of violent action: one man holds the head of the restive horse. Men (l.) rush to look at the unfortunate woman who screams with upraised arms, as does her husband who stands with his back to his shop. A woman furiously clutches the hair of a too-eager spectator (r.); a barking dog leaps towards Mrs. Figg. Over the shop-door hangs a conical sign: 'Old Sugar loaf.' A board over the door is inscribed 'Grocery Sweetmeats Hams Tongues Starch Plumbs Figs Vermicelli Tripe Barley Pickles Mustard Soap Hogs Puddings &c Sold here by Peter Figg.' In a bow window are many jars, &c, two inscribed 'Mustard' and 'Virgin Honey'. Above it are two large pot-plants. An agitated woman screams from a casement window over the door. On the house is a placard: 'Cattle Life Insurance Cow Lane Smithfield.'."--British Museum online catalogue
