- Abstract:
- On the right, a lady (Mrs. Catherine Macaulay) with an aquiline profile and wearing a morning gown, sits at a dressing-table; she is dipping a brush into a pot marked 'Rouge', other toilet implements and a looking-glass on the table. Her hair is in a grotesquely caricatured erection, with side curls, intended to ridicule the fashions of the day; on the top of it is a hearse drawn by six horses, decorated with enormous ostrich-feathers. Similar feathers adorn the heads of the horses. On the left behind the lady, a skeleton stands at a rectangular table grasping with both hands an hour-glass whose sands have run into the lower glass out the bottom onto the table. On the table there is also a knife. The base of the skeleton's spine is transfixed by a large arrow. On the wall behind the lady's dressing-table is a portrait bust of a clergyman, in profile to the right (Dr. Wilson).

- Abstract:
- Three woman and a man advance from the left with a blanket on which to toss an unsuspecting artist who is seated at the right side of the print. All display the excessive hair styles of the period. The individuals with the blanket appear to be characters from a print which hangs on the wall behind them, "The back-side of a front row" (British Museum cataloge 5430), who have come to punish the artist for his caricatures. The artist holds in his hand "Miss Shuttle cock" (British Museum catalogue 5376) which also bears the monogram RS, thereby identifying the artist as Richard Sneer. Another print on the wall, entitled "Lex talionis", depicts a person being tossed in a blanket
