A muzzled bear sits up, as if begging, on a fat woman who lies on her back. She says: "Gemini! what a Weight! my poor dear Mr Dripping was quite a Feather to him". She wears a ribbon with a miniature portrait of a man around her neck; her hat lies on the ground beside her. The bear's keeper (right) raises his club, saying, "Down Bruin! I'll teach you to ride the high Horse". A dog (right) springs towards the bear. A man (left) runs off, saying, "D------m me I'll be off! . . . [etc.]".

A fashionably dressed woman sits (left) in profile, in an upright chair, while a carriage waits for her as seen through the window of the well-appointed sitting room. Her loose dress, high to the neck, has two embroidered slits to reveal the breasts. A pretty, buxom nurse holds out an infant, who eagerly sucks the breast thus conveniently laid bare. She wears a turban with two erect feathers, and short sleeves; her gloved right hand holds a closed fan. On the wall behind her is a large picture, 'Maternal Love': a seated woman suckles an infant. Through a high sash-window is seen a corner of the waiting coach, a footman holding open the door, a fat coachman on the box. The coach, hammer-cloth, and the lady's chair are decorated with a baron's coronet. A patterned carpet covers the floor
