Abstract:
Tall, elegantly dressed elderly gentleman stands in center of a room looking with disgust over his left shoulder at large round tripod table on which lies a crying infant in a straw basket. He holds a raised cane in his right hand and a tricorne hat under his right arm. From his left side hangs a tasselled sword. The baby's basket has a ribbon inscribed 'To Simon Spindleshanks, Esq.' Behind his master, to the left, stands a grinning manservant who is showing delight in what he has brought about. In the background are beautifully panelled walls hung with two paintings which amplify the subject of the print. The one on the left depicts a violent storm; in the one on the right Delilah with Samson asleep at her knee, beckons soldiers to enter the room

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
