- Abstract:
- "The lady, dressed for the evening, stands before the pier-glass, drawing on a long glove. She wears an apparently simple dress of sprigged muslin, high-waisted and décolletée, showing her ankles, with draped shoulder-strap. The tight curls of the wig have been loosened to simulate natural (short) hair. A miniature or pendant hangs from her neck, above the elbow is a massive bracelet. The maid stands behind her mistress holding a shawl and fan, and with a hand held up as if in admiration at the result of her long labours. The book-case is open but with a key in the lock, and contains two volumes of 'Delphine' and one of 'The Monk' [see No. 9812]. The picture on the wall is 'Evening': a lady in full toilette walks, holding a fan; below it hangs a large ornate bag or reticule. The dog stands on a chair (right), gazing at its mistress. On the floor is a book: 'Gallery of Fashion dedicated to the Beau Monde' open at a fashion-plate of two ladies walking."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "The lady sits facing her reflection in a pier-glass. She wears a plain muslin gown with long sleeves and holds an open book: 'Delphine'. Her hair is cropped; the maid holds the brown wig with tight curls which she is about to place on her mistress's head. The dressing-table has been pushed to the left; the end remaining in view is covered with bottles of 'Honey Water', 'Eau de Cologne', 'Otto de Rose', and 'Esprit de . . .', &c. On a plain table beside the maid (right) are an open box labelled 'Ross's Elastic Wigs' [cf. No. 11597], a bottle of 'Huile Antique', two small combs, and a tiny hair-brush. The doors of the book-case are open showing volumes inscribed 'Tales of Wonder' [see No. 9932], 'Fashionable . . . Me . . .', 'Faublais' [two], 'Uncle Thoma[s]', 'Rosa Matilda'. The picture on the wall is 'Noon', a lady walking with an open parasol. In the foreground are an open coffer with a garment hanging from it, the lap-dog sleeping on a stool, an open music-book, 'Opera Dances', with pan-pipes. On a chair are a cloak and large cylindrical bonnet. Another table stands against the wall, heavy and ornate, supported on pilasters like a chimney-piece. On it is a different vase of flowers from that in No. 11608."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A young woman stands in profile to the left, at a dressing-table, while a buxom ladies' maid laces a pair of long stays. She wears a boudoir cap tied under the chin, and holds a flat ruler-shaped stick under the stays in front to regulate the operation. The stays fit closely over a pair of plain knickerbockers, cf. No. 9608. The dressing-room is luxuriously furnished. The dressing-table is draped in muslin and has a swing-mirror. On it are toilet-articles, bottles (two inscribed 'Milk of Roses' and 'Esprit de Lavande'), a rosary, a mask, a ticket inscribed 'Masquerade Argyll Street', and a lap-dog, looking at itself in the mirror. The furniture is ornamented with ormolu. A small hanging book-case with curtained glass doors hangs on the wall. A picture of a woman draped in a cloak, walking, with a landscape background, is inscribed 'Morning'. On a console table is a Chinese vase with a bouquet of roses.

- Abstract:
- "Counsellor Clifford, realistically drawn, stands in profile to the left, his feet together, holding behind his back a flaming fire-brand, emitting thick clouds of smoke. He wears a hat, and has a sinister expression--a sly grimace with a hint of smile. His long, drink-blotched nose, projecting forehead and underlip are conspicuous. He stands on the cobblestones outside the east front of the new theatre, which forms a background, and is on fire. The façade is still intact but vast masses of flame and smoke rise from within, lighting up the windows. In the foreground lie three bottles, all labelled 'Brandy', and a paper: 'Clifford versus Brandon--Verdict by Blunder £5'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A preacher in a bulky gown almost fills an hexagonal pulpit, in which he stands full face, the right hand raised in exhortation, left on a book which rests on the tasselled cushion. His face is repulsively sub-human, with broad flattened nose, scowling forehead, eyes slanting up from the nose, long upper lip and wide curved mouth, with short hair and whiskers, and suggests an embodiment of evil. The head is ironically irradiated by the fan-shaped carving at the back of the pulpit from which winged heads look down at the preacher. At the base of the design and obscuring the lower part of the pulpit is a cloud radiating flashes of lightning."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A very fat lady crouches in a shell drawn by two swans; she holds (tricolour) reins attached to the birds' necks; a carriage-whip is in her right hand. She has a blotched profile; snaky curls hang oddly over her face; she wears a swathed neck-cloth over her chin, a riding-habit with a sleeve slashed in the manner usually denoting theatrical dress, and a hat trimmed with tricolour feathers. Behind her (left) ride two little cupids, each on a swan, with postilion's caps and coats; each plies vigorously a whip made of a bow; a quiver with arrows hangs at the back of the nearer cupid, who has butterfly wings; the back of the other is hidden. Their reins, &c., are tricolour. Their swans stretch their necks angrily at the back of the 'Venus'. Foreground and background are sea and sky."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A rich farmer's parlour or drawing-room, with curtains drawn over two high windows (right). Betty, plump and bucolic, wearing a high-waisted dress with short sleeves, sits at a square piano (left), in profile to the left, laboriously playing and singing, her eyes on the music: 'Bluebells of Scotland Sung by Mrs Jordan. O Where & O Where is my Highland Laddie gone'. The farmer and his wife stand by the piano, gaping in delighted admiration; they are stout, good-humoured, and plainly dressed. A younger girl, slimmer and less rustic, stands by the piano (left), singing; she holds up a fan. Under the piano is a book: 'Songs of Catalani'. Three elderly ladies sit at a card-table (right), on which are spread drawings or embroidery by 'B. Giles'. One sleeps, two gossip with spiteful zest. A son of the house sits primly with his back to the windows, in profile to the left, his hands folded, ill at ease in frilled shirt, and powdered hair. A small foot-boy enters from the right with a decanter and glasses on a salver and a cake-basket on his arm, the cakes falling out. A spaniel sits dejectedly in the foreground. The room is lit by two pairs of candles in sconces, two candles on the piano, and one on the table. The chairs are of modern shape, with stuffed backs and ormolu ornament. Above the chimney-piece is a heavily framed sampler with two alphabets, figures from 1 to 12, 'Evil communications Corrupt good Manners', and a design of two birds flanking two hearts pierced with arrows, inscribed: 'Betty Giles aged 16. 1808. Cheese Hall'. Over the piano in an oval frame is a view of 'Cheese-Farm': the corner of a house next a small thatched cottage and two haystacks. A gigantic horse looks over the cottage roof, and in the foreground a woman milks a large cow, beside which are two geese and a cock larger than the woman."--British Museum online catalogue.
