"The instrumentalists are closely grouped round the armchair of the father of the family, a stout man in old-fashioned dress, who sits full face singing loudly, an open music book on his knees, his feet supported on the bar of his chair. His very fat wife sits beside him (right) blowing a trumpet to the grotesque inflation of cheek and neck. The eldest daughter (left) plays the double-bass; behind her stands a girl beating a tambourine. The younger children flank the design: a fat little girl (left) plays the triangle, looking up at her sister's tambourine. On the right a little boy sits at his mother's feet beating a large kettle-drum and shouting; he sits on two large volumes: 'Doctor Burneys Musical Travels [i.e., The Present State of Music in France and Italy ... 1771', and 'The Present State of Music in Germany . . . [etc.]', 2 v. 1773]. Mother and daughters are fashionably dressed; the daughters are comely. A howling dog seated on the extreme left adds to the impression of violent noise."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A sailor and his pregnant fiancée stand at left before a clergyman in a white surplice who stands at right, reading from papers inscribed 'Matrimony', and asking 'Wilt thou take this Woman to be thy wedded wife'; the sailor responds in affronted manner, asking 'do you doubt the word of a sailor'; an assisting cleric at right, wearing dark clothes and bands, drops his book in surprise."--British Museum online catalogue.
