- Abstract:
- Three men sit by a supper-table, a grandfather-clock behind them points to XI. The man on the left is having his jack-boots pulled off by a small boy; the boy stands astride his right leg pulling hard, his back to the man, who is scowling and pushes his other booted foot against the boy's back; on the floor are a pair of spurs, a pair of slippers, and a boot-jack. A man (right) wearing a night-cap, but otherwise completely dressed and wearing spurred boots, leans one elbow on the table, his face contorted as if in pain, he holds his hand to his thigh. On the table beside him is a small packet inscribed "Diaculum". In the centre, and on the farther side of the table, the third man leans both elbows on the table, his hair is tousled and his eyes are shut. A servant behind, yawning, is carrying off a square box, probably a wig-box, while a maidservant stands on the right, a candle in one hand, a warming-pan in the other, watching with amusement the efforts of the boy to pull off the boot. Three hats hang on the wall; a bottle, a plate, three wine-glasses, and a guttering candle, burnt down to the socket, stand on the table. See related image in the British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Probably a copy of an English print. A dandy (cf. No. 13029) stands on the pavement outside an open ground-floor sash-window, ogling two welcoming young women through a lorgnette, regardless of the bailiff who takes his shoulder and proffers a writ. A second dandy, in the background, seeing the bailiff, drops his cane and runs away terror-stricken. The dandy's costume is that of c. 1820. Below the title: 'The Dandy squinting through his glass, Surveys the Ladies as they pass, But still the Fribble lacks the wit To guard against the Bailiffs writ.'"--British Museum online catalogue
