"Four card-players at a round table in an old maid's parlour, with expressions that indicate a crisis in the game. A monkey sits on the back of the hostess's chair, about to snatch off her cap. A cockatoo is on a high perch before a tall folding screen decorated with prints. A kettle boils on the fire."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Four elderly whist-players, broadly burlesqued. A grotesque woman (left), holding a hand of five low cards in all suits, exclaims (words below the title): "O Lor' Sir! I've | "Lost my Honor!"; she tilts her head so that the aigrette in her turban burns in a candle (unnoticed by the players). Her furious partner: "Then Ma'am You shou'dn't | "have played the Odd Trick. A dandy, warming his back at the fire (left), stares at the conflagration, and an amused footman capers off to the right, tilting a salver."--British Museum online catalogue

"A game is just finished: a pretty elegant girl (right) has nine tricks, and an elderly spinster in old-fashioned dress, with spectacles on forehead, has four. They argue, gesturing with their hands, while the two men watch the girl intently. A dog barks at her. The room is lit by two candles from a sconce. Two pictures are on the wall, an owl in a bush, and a half-length portrait of a man, who seems to be watching the game intently, finger on lip"--British Museum online catalogue

"Two men play at a small round card-table, the cribbage-board between them. One (left), fashionably dressed, has thrown his cards on the table, rising slightly from his chair, with a stare of triumph at his opponent. The latter, elderly and old-fashioned, holds his cards, and stares with melancholy surprise at those on the table. A large snuff-box lies on the floor, overturned. Behind them is a folding screen which partly conceals a picture: a man, dressed as a jester, performing a conjuring trick to astonished spectators."--British Museum catalogue

"Design in an oval. Two men playing cards at a small round table. The man on the right pulls out an ace of spades from the five cards in his hand and shows it with a grimace of satisfaction. His opponent (left), in profile to the right, looks at it with an expression of consternation, frowning and opening his mouth wide. The pack and other cards lie on the table. The men are probably portraits. The successful player is middle-aged, plainly dressed, with a bob-wig; the other is younger, very thin, and more fashionably dressed, with a long pigtail queue."--British Museum online catalogue
