On the right, a hatched-faced woman, in a Duchess of Devonshire hat and costume, sits in front of a harpsichord with a sheet of music entitled "Time has not thinned my flowing hair." On her lap is a book labelled Werter (Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther). Behind her on the wall between two framed paintins is a round clock carved with the motif of Father Time and his scythe. On the left a very bored looking young man slouches in his chair. Out of his pocket sticks a paper on which is written "Ye gods ye gave to me a wife." On the floor in front of the woman lies a book entitled "Loves labour lost by Shakes (i.e. William Shakespeare's Loves labour lost)."

A drawing of the room at Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill villa that connected the Gallery with the Holbein Chamber. An arched passageway dominates the right side of the image, thorough which the edge of a canopy bed and a chair are visible. Beyond this furniture is another arched passageway leading into the Holbein Chamber, with the chimneypiece and its surroundings plainly visible. The long and narrow connecting room makes up the foreground, its walls and ceiling decorated with the simple motif of parallel lines periodically intersecting to create a lattice. A stained glass window is seen at the far end of the room, on the left edge of the image
