A copy after the 1734 print from a design by W. Hogarth. The artist Jonathan Richardson, seated at a table, looks through a telescope that is aimed at the bare bottom of his son who stands on the table before him. Through his son the father looks at a volume of "Virgil [A]enid" which lies open on the shelf above. With his right hand he writes with a quill pen on a sheet of paper with the heading 'Note'. On the other shelves along the wall are paintings and small statuary; on the wall below the shelves is a portrait of Milton. On the floor in the lower right edge is an artist's palette and an easel. A dog jumps and barks at the son's feet
