- Abstract:
- "A crowded scene in a bare room giving access to the theatre, which is seen through two open doors (right), each showing two boxes, and a section of gallery above, filled with spectators. Courtesans and ladies are being inspected and addressed by the loungers. The centre figure is George Hanger in profile to the left, his club under his arm, arms folded, staring at a bold and handsome girl who stands with another pretty young woman. A man in deep shadow seizes Hanger's bunch of seals. Two elderly men address a fat bawd who holds a basket of fruit and playbills; a coin is placed in her hand. A misshapen elderly beau (not, as Grego suggests, Sir L. Skeffington, b. 1771), looking through a quizzing-glass, steps on an irate lady's dress (right). On the wall is a large play-bill: 'Theatre Royal Covent Garden \ Way of the World \ Who's the Dupe'. The room is lit from bracket lamps high on the right wall, diagonal shadows are thrown across the room, some of the figures are brilliantly lit, others in shadow."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Mrs. Thrale (Piozzi) and Boswell are in heated argument: she (left) advances upon Boswell with her hands on her hips; he stamps violently and clenches his fists. An elderly man seated in an armchair looks at them in alarm, raising his hand in admonition. He is Sir John Hawkins: the 'rival wits' have agreed to let him 'Declare the prop'rest pen to write Sam's Life.' Beside him a 'cello leans against the wall, emblem perhaps of Sir John's interest in music, perhaps of Mrs. Thrale's marriage to Piozzi. Three shelves of books are above his head; the highest is filled with large volumes covered with a cobweb, one inscribed 'History of Musi[c]' ... Behind the two disputants is a draped sash-window. Beneath each part of the title a quotation from the verses is engraved: '[1] Who, madning with an Anecdotic Itch, Hath said that Johnson call'd his Mother, B-tch?' Boswell taunts Mrs. Thrale with her anecdote of Johnson's answer to his mother when she called him a puppy. '[2] Who, from Macdonald's Rage, to save his snout, Cut twenty lines of defamation, out?' She retorts with the slander which Boswell denied."--British Museum online catalogue
