A handsome young cook in her mistress's hat and gown, worn over her own cap and petticoat, with her breast bared, postures in the kitchen before a hanging mirror, holding out a fan. Three amused girls (a woman with two young girls) watch her from behind a door (right). On the floor is a broken dish with a fish on which a cat has pounced, and to the rigth a rolling pin, fork and spoon. A floured pudding is ready for cooking. On the shelves behind her are plates, platters and mugs; above the door, a small keg, wine bottle, and crocks. On the floor near the door are brooms and buckets.

- Abstract:
- "A 'cit', ugly and elderly, sits full face at right angles to the fire (right). He has been suddenly awakened by two squalling cats behind him (left) and registers surprise and terror, with staring eyes and gaping, distorted mouth. Both hands are raised, and he has flung back the bandanna which covered his face. The room suggests prosperity: carved marble chimney-piece surmounted by mirror or picture, carpet, hearth-rug, low-backed arm-chair of modern shape."--British Museum online catalogue.
