The scene shows the young newlyweds at breakfast in a large, well-furnished room but in a state of disorder as after a night's entertainment. The night's activities are suggested by the book "Hoyle on whist" open on the rug in the middle of the floor, a deck of cards on the floor below a card table in the next room, and in the foreground a violin in its open case sits on the back of an overturned chair, a second violin case beside it. The steward walks away in disgust at his apparent failure to engage either the husband or the wife in addressing the wad of bills that he has in his hands. Through an archway, a dishevelled and sleepy servant scratches his cap; the walls are decorated with paintings of religious figures

Abstract:
Satire on the conflict between artists campaigning for a public academy and those who were opposed. William Hogarth (A), shown as the leader of the latter group, rides a peacock. He is followed by (B) probably intended for the journalist Bonnell Thornton, dressed as Mercury, holding a paper lettered "Sr by G[o]d they laugh at us", and (C) Thomas Burgess, a young artist "who etch'd the Club of Artists" [BM Satires 3278]; (D) consists of a group of young followers sheltering behind the peacock's tail. Opposite them stands another group, a "New Club", led by (E) the "Chairman" holding a gavel, probably Francis Hayman, and (F) an older man holding a candle described as a "comic Poet study'd Painter and Chapman". Behind them stand (G), "a Swiss Operator", (H) "a great Projector", (I) "Toast Master General" and others only partly visible; those at the back of this group have peacock feathers in their hats. On the ground between the groups sits (T) "a late Author & Publisher of Scandal". To the right, a child (U) holding a lantern has climbed a tree in search of "Impartiality". Above flies Fame (W) "inspiring the Heros". A zodiacal arc on the left includes a pair of clasped hands (a symbol for mutual trust) lettered "Unknown"."--British Museum online catalogue
