Four nymphs kneel or stand in front of a tree in front of which is a fenced enclosure holding three cupids. In the background on the left, another nymph carrys away a cupid on her shoulder

"The couple torment each other in the breakfast-room. A round table is drawn close to a blazing fire. The lady has left her seat to thump on the piano (left), singing loudly, with her back to her husband, but turning her eyes towards him. He sits in the corner of a sofa, crouching away from her, his hand over his ear, food stuffed into his mouth, reading the 'Sporting Calendar'. The pages of her open music-book are headed 'Forte'. Her song is: 'Torture Fiery Rage \ Despair I cannot can not bear'. On the piano lies music: 'Separation a Finale for Two Voices with Accompaniment'; on the floor is 'The Wedding Ring - a Dirge'. She wears a becoming morning gown with cap, but has lost the slim grace of British Museum Satires No. 10472, and her soft features have coarsened. Behind the piano a boisterous coarse-featured nurse hastens into the room holding a squalling infant, and flourishing a (watchman's) rattle. On the lady's chair is an open book, 'The Art of Tormenting', illustrated by a cat playing with a mouse. Her sunshade hangs from the back of the chair. On the breakfast-table are a large hissing urn, a tea-pot, a coffee-pot, &c., a bottle of 'Hollands' (beside the woman's place), and a (full) dish of muffins. The man's coffee-cup is full and steaming. He wears a dressing-gown with ungartered stockings and slippers. An air of dejection and ill-nature replaces his former good-humoured sprightliness. Under his feet lies a dog, 'Benedick', barking fiercely at an angry cat, poised on the back of the sofa. A square birdcage high on the wall is supported by branching antlers. In it two cockatoos screech angrily at each other, neglecting a nest of three young ones. Beside it (left) is a bust of 'Hymen' with a broken nose, and (right) a thermometer which has sunk almost to 'Freezing'. On the chimney-piece is a carved ornament: Cupid asleep under a weeping willow, his torch reversed, the arrows falling from his quiver. This is flanked by vases whose handles are twisted snakes which spit at each other."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady stands on a mound in profile to the left; a young military officer (left) fires a cannon from an embrasure, while another fires a trench-mortar at her from behind. Her dress caricatures the fashion for a very projecting breast, and a large protuberance at the back of the petticoats. She wears a hat with an enormous brim, her hands are in a large fur mutt. She resembles Mrs. Fitzherbert. At the foot of the mound a Cupid uses his arrow to undermine the ground on which she stands. Beneath the title is engraved: 'In vain Before the Fair one Arms, With Breastworks high her panting charms, In vain Behind yon Mount is plac'd, Which Wits may say is Bum proof cas'd, Ifparts More Weak to guard she fails, Where artful Love by Mine assails. Tho' Fox's Brush as Muff may warm And snug conceal what all must charm, Guard well that Pass: there lies the Proof Jove! dearly lov'd a well Thatch'd Roof.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Caroline and Bergami sit together in an opera-box, frowning angrily at the occupants of the pit, all men, who look up at the box disapprovingly. Bergami holds a bottle labelled 'Essence of Bergamot' and wears a braided hussar uniform. Caroline is very décolletée, with loose black curls and a four-cornered headdress. The Arms of the Republic of Genoa are on the wall beside them with a harp and musical score below. The front of the box is decorated with two cupids holding a ribbon
