Abstract:
"A tall fashionably dressed portrait painter, holding his crescent-shaped hat under his arm, stands between his subject (right) and the whole length painting of her which leans against the wall (left). The lady is fantastically fat, with huge lips. She wears a short-waisted décollétee dress (though her waist is undiscernible), and holds in both hands a small parasol. On the canvas she is transformed into Juno pouring out a libation for Jove, an eagle clutching thunderbolts; she wears quasi-classical dress, with breast and arms bare; one sandalled foot rests on a cloud. Her bulk is scarcely modified; the likeness remains, though the contour of face and lips is improved. Two half length portraits also lean against the wall. The Irish painter declaims: "A famous hand Madam!!! Your Eyes indeed are featured there, but where's the sparkling moisture, shineing fluid in which they swim? the Picture indeed has your dimples, but wheres the swarm of hilling Cupids that should ambush there? the lips to are figured out, but where's [the] dew, the pouting ripeness that tempts the taste in the original; your breasts too!! What paint Heaven!!! presumtuos Man!" She says, with eyes coyly dropped: "Oh Mr Flanegan You flatter me!!"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A burlesque election scene, most of the figures having large grotesque heads, similar to those in British Museum Satires Nos. 10604, 10663. On the right a corner of the hustings is indicated by a rail behind which stand the candidate and three of his supporters. One of the latter, next the silent candidate, addresses the people below: "I have now Gentlemen the honor to propose to you my friend next me Solomon Sheepface Esqr of Sheepface Hall, you are all well acquainted with his disposition, he is so harmless he would not hurt a Worm, - once elected he will say Aye or No just as the occasion may require." The candidate has an expression of bewildered melancholy. Five men form the audience, one shouts "No Sheepface"; another waves his hat, shouting, "Sheepface for ever Huzza". On the left two men gaze at a large election poster on a wall: 'To the Worthy and Independent Electors of the Borough of Long Heads Gentlemen your Votes and Interest in favor of Solomon Sheepface'. A little boy picks the pocket of one of the gazers. In the middle a ragged ballad-seller bawls to an audience of three boys: 'The same is entitled and called No Bribery, a new Song, to an Old tune.' In the background a crowd is faintly indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"An elegant schoolmistress in a neat parlour addresses two visitors, a fat and over-dressed farmer's wife with a daughter of about fifteen, similarly dressed and resembling her mother. On the right is a piano with open music, and a chair on which is propped a needlework picture of Charlotte mourning under a weeping willow, at a tomb with an urn inscribed 'Werter'. The governess holds in her hand a card: 'Terms of B[on] Tons School'; she points to the picture, saying, "You would perhaps like the Young Lady to work something in silks Madam! there is a pretty subject, Charlotte at the Tomb of Werter". The visitor exclaims: "A very pretty piece I pertest! my Dater has a Genii for Drawing! Penelope my dear! you shall work Charlotte at the Tub of Water". The girl, delighted, answers: "La Mother! I shall like that! you know Mounseer Gumboge says: I make Water as natural as Life". Trees are seen through an open window."--British Museum online catalogue

"A jovial countryman leans on a rustic railing nailed to a tree, to address a fat elderly parson on horseback (right). He asks "Ha! Ha - the knaust Doctor I be a rum fellow, - Canst thee tell me - why - a Parsons Horse be like a King?" The parson answers with a grin: "Why you rogue, because it is guided by a Minister."

"An elderly lawyer (left) reads a will to the legatees, who are grouped round a table: a young couple looking slyly at each other, a fat and startled butcher, a drunken dishevelled butler, an elderly doctor smelling his cane, a would-be fashionable in a wrinkled Jean-de-Bry coat (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9425) and tasselled Hessians. The lawyer reads: "The Genuine Will of Timothy Whimsey Esqr of Whimsey Hall--I give and bequeath to my young Wife the bulk of my Fortune for the trouble she has had with me, and to my secretary Tom Cunningham I bequeath the said Wife . . . as by amourous glances, I have at different times noticed, I think there will be no objection on either side--To my old Friend Briskett the Butcher, I leave him a small portion of common honesty and advise him to cut his steaks thicker in future--To Timothy my Butler, I leave sixty pounds per Annum for his extreme Sobriety!!!--to Doctor Bolus I leave all the pill boxes--phials--potions--lotions &c &c &c accumulated at different periods, and deposited in my corner cupboard--and lastly I leave my Nephew Tim Dash--a small portion of advice viz--not to act and dress so like a puppy in future!!!"
