An aspirational dustman in ragged clothes, a monocle hanging from his hat, and smoking a cigar, sits in a chair before the hearth reading a book, "An introduction to the pleasures of ... schince by Barnart Botherum [...] dedicated to the majesty of the people". On the table are bowl, a goblet and a bottle of Port. On the wall hangs a landscape and on the mantel a bust of Shakespeare. The dog at his feet stares at the fire, the bones of fish dinner on a plate beside him. A large bell sits on the floor beside the dustman

"The Dey of Tunis, a fat Turk, sits cross-legged on one mattress (left), the Princess of Wales, in Turkish costume, on another; her huge breasts are immodestly bare. He smokes a long pipe, and puffs smoke sideways towards his visitor with an inscrutable expression; beside him are coffee-pot and cup. She smokes a hookah; a bottle of 'Coniac' and a glass are beside her. A Tunisian with a long beard and baggy breeches stands between them, staring and bowing towards the Princess; he says: "His Highness Trusts the endeavours of his household for your Gratification is successful and that happiness in the Halb of the Faithfull attends you." She answers: "their Assiduities are unceasing I am as Happy as the Dey [altered to] Day is Long!!!" Behind her couch stands Bergami, in hussar costume with three orders; he scowls with clenched fists, saying: "this is an unfortunate Dey for me Othellos occupation's gone.""--British Museum online catalogue

"Elderly men sit and stand, all smoking long pipes; large clouds of smoke issue from their mouths, but little or nothing comes from the bowls of their pipes.
