Three woman and a man advance from the left with a blanket on which to toss an unsuspecting artist who is seated at the right side of the print. All display the excessive hair styles of the period. The individuals with the blanket appear to be characters from a print which hangs on the wall behind them, "The back-side of a front row" (British Museum cataloge 5430), who have come to punish the artist for his caricatures. The artist holds in his hand "Miss Shuttle cock" (British Museum catalogue 5376) which also bears the monogram RS, thereby identifying the artist as Richard Sneer. Another print on the wall, entitled "Lex talionis", depicts a person being tossed in a blanket

"A fat and ugly lady (left) and a young and pretty one (right) are being dressed for a Birthday at St. James's. A huge wig decked with feathers and roses is being placed by a maid on the bald head of the elder lady, who stands holding a bouquet and looking in a mirror which reflects a delighted grin. A little black page supports the mirror; he turns to a dog which fawns on him. Another maid fastens in front a false 'derrière', which will distend her dress below the waist, see BMSat 7100, &c. The girl is seated; a friseur dresses her long hair; a man-milliner, 'chapeau-bras', prepares to adjust a 'derrière'; she touches approvingly the dress which an ugly old woman wearing a hat holds out to her. On the floor is a round box containing roses."--British Museum online catalogue
