"A very fat man sits (left) at a dinner-table holding a knife and fork and about to take a mouthful. He gazes apprehensively at his wife (right), who has risen from the table, overthrowing her chair and a bottle of 'Gin' whose contents stream to the ground. She leans forward, clenching her outstretched right fist, a glass in her left hand, shouting, "You Think indeed!! You Brute, I wonder at your Impudence, never was so Mild so Meek a Temprd Woman so Ill used as I am, & all because I'm the most Tender Affectionate Wife living, but I wont be treated so I wont no, I'll tear your Eyes out first, I know what you want, to set me in a Passion you do, but I wont be in a Passion to please you, you Cross Ill Temperd Quarrelsome, Passionate Wretch.' On the table are a joint of beef (opposite the man), pudding, a bottle of 'Brandy' (next the woman). On the ground at her feet are a broken glass and a knife.
