"Johnson (right) and Boswell (left) embrace; Boswell, his face hidden behind that of Johnson, holds up his hat as if in triumph. Johnson, wearing hat and boots, holds his oak stick; his eyes are closed; a large book protrudes from his coat-pocket. The post-boy (left) stands warming his back at the fire watching the embrace. A bare-legged man (right), scratching his tousled head, holds out a bowl to Boswell."--British Museum online catalogue
