A scene in Bedlam with Tom half-naked and in a state of distress attended by Sarah Young, a clergyman and a warder; in the background, other inmates (including one who believes himself to be God and has cheap prints of saints pinned to his cell wall). Two elegantly dressed female visitors whisper together, the one holding a fan against her face to shield from her view an inmate in a cell who believes he is King and sits naked, save for a crown, urinating on to his straw bed. The wall and the banister of a staircase to right are covered with various graffiti including calculations of longitude and an image of the reverse of a coin, lettered "Britannia/1763", and the name of a well-known prostitute, Betty Careless
