At one end of a long table, a cleric with crossed eyes and mortar board drinks tea. He appears to be suspended in the air (the chair is not drawn) and leans with his elbow on the Morning Herald on the table. At the other end, a yawning academic in an unbuttoned coat under his robe, is doing up his stockings. His loose garter draws the attention of a playful cat while a dog watches him impatiently. Next to him on the table is an open volume of Euclid's Elements. The maid standing behind the table looks at the cleric on the left and pours hot water on the floor missing the teacup. Above the fireplace hang two muskets and three silhouette portraits of women.

In a country landscape, a man and a young woman in riding habit ride together (left to right) on a white horse, passing a signpost that reads (left) "To London" and (right) "To Newbury and Well Hall". She sits in front, holding the reins and riding astride. She holds up a purse in her left hand saying, "This will pay you for your Trouble Honey". The man sits behind, his feet in the stirrups, his left hand on the woman's waist; he says, "Promise me that and I will never say another Mass". The man wears ordinary riding-dress; the woman wears a feathered hat over a frilled cap, and a tight coat over a ruffled shirt. Behind them (left) walks a young woman, wearing a cap of lace and ribbons; she holds her apron to her eye, saying, "The Old witch is carrying away my Director". The words issue from the speakers' mouths on long scrolls. In the foreground (left) is a tree; the background is an undulating landscape with a square church tower and the roofs of a village among trees

Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston, attending her trial for bigamy. The maids of honour hold a bottle marked "cordial". They are followed by a fat chaplain, a physician with a bigwig and sword, and a lean apothecary with a big enema syringe and "Seven figures walk from left to right. First is the (so-called) Duchess of Kingston, short and stout. She is saying "By God and", and holds out her hands with a gesture of affirmation. Behind her walk three young women, her 'maids of honour', who are tall and slim in contrast with their mistress. One carries a large square bottle inscribed "cordial". All four ladies are dressed alike in the fashion of the day with low bodices and high coiffures decorated with feathers and flowers. Next comes a fat clergyman, his mouth open as of shouting. He is followed by the physician wearing a big-wig and sword. Last walks the apothecary, lean and bent, also wearing a sword, and carrying an enormous and ornately decorated syringe which rests on his right shoulder."--British Museum online catalogue
