Abstract:
A scene in Bedlam with Tom half-naked and in a state of distress attended by Sarah Young, a clergyman and a warder; in the background, other inmates (including one who believes himself to be God and has cheap prints of saints pinned to his cell wall). Two elegantly dressed female visitors whisper together, the one holding a fan against her face to shield from her view an inmate in a cell who believes he is King and sits naked, save for a crown, urinating on to his straw bed. The wall and the banister of a staircase to right are covered with various graffiti including calculations of longitude and an image of the reverse of a coin, lettered "Britannia/1763", and the name of a well-known prostitute, Betty Careless

Abstract:
In a squalid room Moll Hackabout, wrapped in a sheet, is dying while two doctors (Richard Rock and Jean Misaubin) argue over their remedies. Her serving-woman reaches out to them in alarm to get their attention for the invalid, while another woman rifles through Moll's portmanteau (with her initials as in Plate 1). A small boy knelling next to Moll's chair scratches his head as he turns a joint of meat roasting in front of the fire while a pot overflows on the grate. An over-turned table with an advertisement "Practical scheme ... 'Anodyne" litters the floor in the foreground

A kitten plays at Moll's feet. A copy of Bishop Gibson's "Pastoral Letter to ..." serves a butter dish. Above the window on the left is a print of after a Titian painting depicting the angel staying the hand of Abraham as he is about to slay Isaac.
