"A fashionably dressed man stands directed to the left, erect and debonair, a cane under his left arm. He takes a pinch of snuff, holding, besides the snuff-box, his top-hat. He has whiskers and small pigtail. From his coat-pocket projects a bottle labelled 'Two Spoonsfull to be taken at Bed time'. On the ground is a pill-box on its side, spilling its contents. He wears two thistles in the breast of his coat; a thistle-plant grows near his feet."--British Museum online catalogue

"An aged and moribund woman (three-quarter length) sits in an arm-chair directed to the left. A doctor, stout, middle-aged, and sensual, holds her wrist, while putting his arm round a buxom young woman who leans on the back of the chair. They gaze into each other's eyes. On the table at the old woman's elbow are medicine phials, a bowl of 'Composing Draught', and a pill-box inscribed 'Opium'. The doctor has a gold-headed cane inscribed 'Medical Staff'."--British Museum online catalogue
