Abstract:
From her bed with bed curtains, an ill-looking woman with an imploring look on her face from her bed reaches for her nurse who is asleep in an armchair with her back to her patient and her feet on a cushion. She is very fat and coarse looking as she sits in front of a fire. The candle stick has fallen from the table and lies unobserved smoking on the floor at her feet, the snuffer also on the floor beside a cat who grabs the food from a plate that has also fallen to the floor. The table by the nurse's elbow holds medicine bottles as well as dishware. More medicine bottles are on the mantel and at her feet. A pot warms over the fire

"Wardle stands in a bedroom addressing a crowd in the street below through an open sash-window flush with the floor. Behind him stands Mrs. Clarke (left), with arms outstretched, pointing at Wardle, and declaiming: "And Clarke said unto Felix. Thou art the Man- behold the Furniture! and Felix Trembled". Wardle, fashionably dressed and wearing Hessian boots, stands with clasped hands and flexed knees. He says: "Good People of the United Kingdom suspend your judgement for the present till I get this woman placed in the pillory-I never did any thing naughty with her no more than the child unborn-it was all for the good of my Country I assure you I am as firm a patriot as ever purchased a convex Mirror, or a red turkey Carpet". The heads and shoulders of the proletarian and much amused spectators are closely grouped on the extreme right, with a background of town houses. Behind Mrs. Clarke is a draped dressing-table on which stands a bottle of 'Ratifie' and glasses. The curtains of the bed form a background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue
