"Graham, the well-known quack, stands above and behind a crowd of listeners, all men, some in profile, some in back view, some full-face, the heads and shoulders only being visible, except in the foreground where there is a row of half length figures seated apparently on a bench. The expressions of the audience vary, some look up at the lecturer, others turn their backs, many are grinning. Graham holds a rolled document in one hand as in British Museum Satires No. 6324, &c. The room is lit by a small pendant chandelier with four candles, and by single candles in sconces round the walls."--British Museum online catalogue
