- Abstract:
- A night scene under the Piazza of Covent Garden, the center of which is seen through the arch of the arcade. A couple hurry arm-in-arm through a doorway (right) over which is Haddocks (a bagnio). The woman is the Duchess of Devonshire, shown with a bare breast and holding a lantern. She tells the prim young man "Vote for whom you please but kiss before you poll." He answers, "Tis too much neighbor! I could not go through with it." On the left behind the couple is Mrs. Hobart who holds her lantern to see an old Chelsea pensioner and a negro supported on stumps and crutches. She says to them, " D-m the Duchess, she got all the young voters."

- Abstract:
- "The Duchess of Devonshire seated in a chair offers her bared breast to a fox dressed as an infant, which stands on its hind legs before her, placing a paw across her lap. Her own infant, seated on the ground (right) neglected, stretches out her arms to her mother with a protesting scream. In the foreground (left) a cat licks the face of a dog which sits on its hind legs, while a kitten crawls neglected beside it. Behind the animals is an empty cradle. On the wall (left) is Reynolds's portrait of the Duke of Devonshire standing beside his horse, as in British Museum Satires No. 6529. Another portrait (right) is of a stout man wearing a hat walking to the right, one hand in his pocket, the other resting on a stick (? Fox). These are freely sketched."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "The Duchess of Devonshire embraces a good-looking young butcher, their lips are about to meet; her right arm is round his shoulders, with her left hand she slips a purse into his breeches pocket. His right hand is on her waist. Behind him is the butcher's stall with joints of meat, a chopping-block, and cleaver. The stall partly conceals the Duchess of Portland holding by the shoulders another young butcher who turns his back and rejects her overtures. The ladies wear riding-habits and hats trimmed with ostrich feathers and a fox's brush with a large Fox favour."--British Museum online catalogue.
