"Two sailors face each other at a small table, on which is a centre-dish of pork bristling like a porcupine. Behind the table stands the hostess looking warily at one sailor (r.); she says: "Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powdered it with my own Hands." He answers, scowling: "Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress, while your hand was in, I wish you had Shaved it also." The other (l.), spiking a bristling chunk of meat on his knife, says: "Why Jack - may I never cast Anchor again, if there ant bristles in this Pork as thick as Cables." Beside him is a dog. Both sailors wear striped trousers with buckled shoes. A punch-bowl is on a side-table, and the print of a ship on the wall indicates a sailor's house of call."--British Museum catalogue

"Two men sit beside a blazing fire in a well-furnished room, overcome by drink, and fast asleep. One, a stout officer in regimentals, wearing a cocked hat, seated in an arm-chair (right), has thrust his wooden leg into the fire, where it is burning. The ashes of his pipe fall on to the tail of a dog asleep under his chair. His companion sits (left) supporting his head on his elbow, which rests on a round table on which are a punchbowl, glasses, and a candle, in which his wig is burning. On the wall (left) is a framed plan of fortifications."--British Museum online catalogue

Through his son the father looks at a volume of "Virgil [A]enid" which lies open on the shelf above. With his right hand he writes with a quill pen on a sheet of paper with the heading 'Note'. On the other shelves along the wall are paintings and small statuary; on the wall below the shelves is a portrait of Milton. On the floor in the lower right edge is an artist's palette and an easel. A dog jumps and barks at the son's feet
