- Abstract:
- An angry, bare-breasted young woman in a night dress and cap enters the door of a sitting room from a bedroom (seen through the open door on the right). She scowls at the white-haired man relaxed in an armchair in front of a fire; he smokes a pipe and holds a goblet of wine in his left hand as he leans back in the chair, his feet resting on the grate of the roaring fire; at his elbow a table with a lit candle, carafe, jug, spoon, and book "Miseries of Human Life". One dog sleeps near a gun propped up against the mantel piece; a hunting cap hangs on back wall. Another dog looks at the woman from under the table at the man's side and barks. A large cat that has come in with the woman hisses back at him. A book on the mantel is titled "Rule a wife and have a wife"; the painting above the mantel "Mr. Pantons grey mare ranter out of doll tearsheet." In front of the and to the right are a bootjack and discarded boots pants; a clock hangs on the wall above a tiered table.

- Abstract:
- "Two designs on one plate. Above, two rows of burlesqued yokels (with two comely women, and an ugly old one), seated behind the orchestra and backed by a rough brick wall, register intense amusement. A fiddler stands up to snuff a single wall-candle. Below, three members of the orchestra play, grotesquely weeping; behind them are the pittites, also burlesqued, except for a good-looking young couple. A woman tries to revive a fat and fainting man with a smelling-bottle. Above their heads is a gallery, with two footmen in livery, two ladies, and an elderly parson. All shed tears, or otherwise express their grief."--British Museum online catalogue.
