- Abstract:
- "A companion print to BMSat 9670. In a squalid room French dancers practise to a fiddle played by an older man (right) who dances as he plays. The parents of the four children dance, facing each other. She is elegant, buxom, with an elaborate feathered coiffure. He is lean, wearing a tattered but well-fitting coat over bare legs, with sleeve-ruffles (cf. the old gibe that the Frenchman wore ruffles but no shirt). He wears a toupee wig with a long queue. A boy and girl, both with hair elaborately dressed, dance together more vigorously. A little girl (right) with bare legs practises the first position, heels together. On the left a boy plays the pipe and tabor to two dogs, one wearing cloak and hat, whom he is teaching to dance. His chair is the only furniture except for a truckle-bed (left) turned up to the wall and a much-tilted wall-mirror (right). A lean cat has climbed to a small cupboard recessed in the wall near the ceiling and licks a stoppered bottle. The cupboard contains a coffee-pot, a covered jar, &c. A print of two clumsy peasant dancers is pinned to the wall, from which plaster has flaked. All practise with serious concentration."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "The interior of Sir Robert Taylor's rotunda in the Bank of England when it was used as a stock exchange with the arc of the pilastered wall and part of the domed ceiling forming a background. The floor is covered with groups of small figures, only three ladies among them, who are drawn realistically with a certain humourous intention. On the left is a Jew who talks to a fashionable young man in top-boots. On the right a man wearing a cocked hat and holding a staff and waving a rattle stands above a crowd of excited bidders. On the wall above his head is the notice: 'No clerk to act as broker.' Behind is a table at which men stand to write. On the wall above it is the inscription: Navy &c. £5 pr. ctr. amnt."--British Museum online catalogue.

A handsome young cook in her mistress's hat and gown, worn over her own cap and petticoat, with her breast bared, postures in the kitchen before a hanging mirror, holding out a fan.

On the floor is a broken dish with a fish on which a cat has pounced, and to the rigth a rolling pin, fork and spoon. A floured pudding is ready for cooking. On the shelves behind her are plates, platters and mugs; above the door, a small keg, wine bottle, and crocks. On the floor near the door are brooms and buckets.
