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

On a table is an inkstand and quill, a wine bottle, glass and candle with a book entitled "Tythe laws fully consider'd". At cat pulls from the table a paper labelled "Bans of marriage", while on the floor near a small dog a large book lies open to "Poem on good living".

"A soldier on a great horse holds a rope attached to the legs of two prisoners who sit behind him facing the animal's tail; a drawn sword is in his right hand. Behind (right) is a haystack, on the top of which are two other Spaniards, much alarmed at the approach of a countryman who threatens them with his pitch-fork. A man and woman (left), both wearing coats with military facings, watch the scene; she points, he looks through a small telescope. In the foreground a sow and three young pigs are galloping. In the background is the sea, with fishing-boats."--British Museum online catalogue
