Kemble, in tattered theatrical dress, stands at the gate of Northumberland House in the Strand, holding out his hat and bowing to the obese and oafish-looking Duke of Northumberland, who is placing a "Draft for 10,000 Pounds" in the hat; in his right hand he holds a paper which lists donations.

"A very fat lady crouches in a shell drawn by two swans; she holds (tricolour) reins attached to the birds' necks; a carriage-whip is in her right hand. She has a blotched profile; snaky curls hang oddly over her face; she wears a swathed neck-cloth over her chin, a riding-habit with a sleeve slashed in the manner usually denoting theatrical dress, and a hat trimmed with tricolour feathers. Behind her (left) ride two little cupids, each on a swan, with postilion's caps and coats; each plies vigorously a whip made of a bow; a quiver with arrows hangs at the back of the nearer cupid, who has butterfly wings; the back of the other is hidden. Their reins, &c., are tricolour. Their swans stretch their necks angrily at the back of the 'Venus'. Foreground and background are sea and sky."--British Museum online catalogue.
