A richly dressed but grotesque and balding old lady sits before her dressing table holding a lap dog and attended by a leering hairdresser and his assistant. The former places on her head a huge wig with side curls, flowers on the front and a profusion of ostrich plumes on top. Draperies adorn the dressing table and window, and patterned wall paper and carpet are visible

On the right, a lady (Mrs. Catherine Macaulay) with an aquiline profile and wearing a morning gown, sits at a dressing-table; she is dipping a brush into a pot marked 'Rouge', other toilet implements and a looking-glass on the table. Her hair is in a grotesquely caricatured erection, with side curls, intended to ridicule the fashions of the day; on the top of it is a hearse drawn by six horses, decorated with enormous ostrich-feathers. Similar feathers adorn the heads of the horses. On the left behind the lady, a skeleton stands at a rectangular table grasping with both hands an hour-glass whose sands have run into the lower glass out the bottom onto the table. On the table there is also a knife. The base of the skeleton's spine is transfixed by a large arrow. On the wall behind the lady's dressing-table is a portrait bust of a clergyman, in profile to the right (Dr. Wilson).
