On the right, a hatched-faced woman, in a Duchess of Devonshire hat and costume, sits in front of a harpsichord with a sheet of music entitled "Time has not thinned my flowing hair." On her lap is a book labelled Werter (Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther). Behind her on the wall between two framed paintins is a round clock carved with the motif of Father Time and his scythe. On the left a very bored looking young man slouches in his chair. Out of his pocket sticks a paper on which is written "Ye gods ye gave to me a wife." On the floor in front of the woman lies a book entitled "Loves labour lost by Shakes (i.e. William Shakespeare's Loves labour lost)."
