- Abstract:
- "Two men sit in a dilapidated room, the floor completely covered by water in which three pigs wade, ducks swim and dive, and geese run aggressively towards a dog. Their feet rest on boulders. One stout man in a broken chair sits with his elbows on a small round table, holding up a large watch, the hands showing that it is 9.40, and yawning deeply. On the table are a decanter containing a tiny 'blue devil', cf. British Museum Satires No. 8745, and a guttering candle stuck in a potato at which a rat is nibbling. Another rat runs up the table leg. The other man (right), with closed eyes, and hands on knees, sits on a stool, registering melancholy resignation. One pig (left) devours a 'Racing Calendar' which floats on the water. A fire of sticks burns smokily on a wide hearth; a large pot is overturning, the contents gushing over. Above the chimney-piece hangs a picture in a broken frame of a country house. There is one small casement window, half boarded up, the other half partly stuffed up with a pair of breeches. A ham and a hare hang from hooks in the ceiling. High up on the wall is a small shelf on which is broken china; a cat stands on it."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Domestic scene based on Beresford's 'Miseries of Human Life' (1806), illustrating lines which follow the title: 'Getting up early in a cold gloomy morning, and on running down into the breakfast room for warmth and comfort, finding chairs, table, shovel, tongues, poker and fender huddled into the middle of the room. Carpet tossed backward. - floor newly washed, windows wide open. - bees wax brush and ru]bber in one corner - brooms, mops and pails in another - and a dingy Drab on her knees before an empty grate -'. A man arrested at the door of a room disarrayed by cleaning, wearing a dressing gown and with a gouty slippered foot, his hands held out warily in front of him, his teeth clenched together and his nose dripping; at left, kneeling in front of the grate, a stout and grotesque maid scrubbing the floor; a bust portrait of a man above the mantelpiece, looking disapprovingly down on the maid; cat and caged bird at far right."--British Museum online catalogue.
