Three men sit by a supper-table, a grandfather-clock behind them points to XI. The man on the left is having his jack-boots pulled off by a small boy; the boy stands astride his right leg pulling hard, his back to the man, who is scowling and pushes his other booted foot against the boy's back; on the floor are a pair of spurs, a pair of slippers, and a boot-jack. A man (right) wearing a night-cap, but otherwise completely dressed and wearing spurred boots, leans one elbow on the table, his face contorted as if in pain, he holds his hand to his thigh. On the table beside him is a small packet inscribed "Diaculum". In the centre, and on the farther side of the table, the third man leans both elbows on the table, his hair is tousled and his eyes are shut. A servant behind, yawning, is carrying off a square box, probably a wig-box, while a maidservant stands on the right, a candle in one hand, a warming-pan in the other, watching with amusement the efforts of the boy to pull off the boot. Three hats hang on the wall; a bottle, a plate, three wine-glasses, and a guttering candle, burnt down to the socket, stand on the table. See related image in the British Museum catalogue

A man stands in a room holding a caduceus decorated comic mask, saying ''When I do stare, see how the subjects quacke'." He is surrounded with bills and a bag of coins on the table, both suggesting corruption. At sign hanging from the table reads "Alexandrian Memorial, A loss is no benefit. No committee." Below on the floor, another discarded scroll reads "Rejected with prejudice." At his foot is an animal (a fox?) holding a sign "Designs [ca]refully copied, civilly returned, and he carries in his hand a piece of paper "I perceive the trick & will avoid the cheat. Na-th." Behind him hangs a sign, "The exact-u-trick is safe or 22d Sept." On the wall is a picture of the facade of a theater. Probably a satire on an unidentified theater manager
