"A man on horseback in a street with his arms around two women, one of whom is crying at right, an old lady sat in profile in the foreground holding a bunch of flowers and a dog drinking from a fountain behind, a man watching the farewell with crossed arms at left, a church building behind a high wall before which a carriage is waiting behind."--British Museum online catalogue

"The gambler, in shirt and breeches, sits beside his bed registering rage and despair. Beside him (right) is a round table on which are a cocked pistol, a purse, dice and dice-box, an open pocket-book inscribed 'Money Lost 10.000'. A lighted candle is broken. His comely wife looks at him in startled horror from the curtained bed."--British Museum online catalogue

"The left of the stage seen from the right with part of the orchestra in the foreground, and two stage-boxes on the left. The singer, a handsome young man of feminine appearance, bows, hands on heart, singing loudly. He wears quasi-Roman armour, with an enormous feathered helmet, a cloak, bare arms and legs, with cothurnes. In the centre of the lower box a stout man in regimentals yawns violently, looking disparagingly at the singer. A handsome lady next him turns her head towards the stage. Four other men in the box are amused or quizzical; one uses an ear-trumpet. In the upper box an elderly 'cit' grimaces with angry contempt; his wife yawns cavernously, as does a head in the background. The orchestra sit facing each other; all are elderly; all register active lack of appreciation."--British Museum online catalogue

"Students draw from a nude female model by artificial light. She stands on a low polygonal platform, gracefully posed, her raised right arm supported on a rope slung from the roof, underneath a large round reflector under which a lamp burns. Beside her is a bottle and glass. Behind the platform is a large closed stove and a high screen. The students sit on two rows of seats arranged in a horse-shoe, the second row raised above the first, resting their drawing-boards on a rail. Lamps or candles with reflectors are attached to this rail at intervals. One man (left) paints standing at a painting-table; he wears apron and oversleeves; behind him stands a man inspecting the model through a glass. Almost all the students wear powdered hair with side-curls and small pigtails; many are elderly. The room is handsome; the walls are covered with casts from the antique: busts on a shelf near the ceiling with bas-reliefs below. The drawing is realistic, the heads of the students slightly caricatured."--British Museum online catalogue

"An aged man with a Jewish profile unlocks a large padlock on an iron-studded door under a vaulted portico. Beside him stands a man dressed like a sailor with a basket of poultry and fish on his head, and a straw-covered flask in his hand. An area railing is also padlocked, but behind the railing is a handsome young officer on a ladder, helping a pretty girl out of the window. The old man wears old-fashioned dress with a tie-wig, and two coats, one worn like a cape with the sleeves empty. His crutched stick leans against the door. A corbel above the door is a grotesque figure with a Jewish profile, supporting a burden."--British Museum online catalogue

"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue
