"A satire on pretensions to elegance showing a fine room in which a thin elderly dancing master teaches a stout young woman to dance, while an older woman sitting behind watches them. A man sits strumming a guitar to the left, books and sheets of music lie on the floor; a monkey plays with a fan; a little dog capers on its hind legs behind the dancing pair. On the wall behind are two pictures in ornate frames, one of a dancing couple and the other of a bear dancing with its keeper."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
Print shows an interior view of a room; a duke has arrived home drunk at 5 a.m. (as shown on the longcase clock beside the door) accompanied by two attendants and watchman only to find his bedchamber occupied by another man. Through the open curtains around the bed can be seen a bare-breasted duchess. On the floor near the bed is an open book, "Memoirs of a woman of pleasure" (a reference to John Cleland's Fanny Hill ...) beside the chamber pot. As the duke with sword drawn, staggers forward, his rival climbs through a window in the background, leaving his clothes behind on a chair. A monkey dashes onto the table near the window on the heels of the husband's rival but pulls down the tablecloth causing the items on the table to be strewn across the floor in the foreground; a book opened to pages “Chastity in the nobility a farce. Dedicated to their Graces the Duke & Dutchess xxx”, breaking a broken mirror, and sending the bottles and jars onto the floor. The bottles have labels "Viper drops" and "Surfeit water" and the jar is labeled "Lip salve".
Description:
Title engraved below image., Text preceding publication statement: A recent transaction., "Price 1s. but given gratis to the purchasers of the Court Miscellany."--Following imprint., Eight lines of verse beneath image, four on either side of title: Persons in exalted station, Should patterns be of imitation; But if a duke must have his punk, And from the bagnio ride home drunk. What wonder if her wanton grace, Invites another in his place? He draws his sword raps out his oaths, But what redress? his rival's cloaths., Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum., The reference to the duke is probably Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, 1745-90., and Probably a 19th century impression, based on the quality of the paper.
