- Abstract:
- "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.

- Abstract:
- "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.
