"Fashionable carriages throng the west side of St. James's Street, stopping outside a house with a pilastered door (right) above which is a notice: 'Chalk Drawing'. A dense crowd of tiny figures enters. The crowd is watched intently by Haydon who stands (left) on the opposite pavement; a taller man, probably a pupil, takes his arm. Haydon wears spectacles and holds a small portfolio. A goose labelled 'W C' menaces him from behind. At the bird's feet are two papers: 'Cabal 2 Octavo Volumes W C.' and 'Quack Artist Play .W C. Weather Cock.' There are two placard bearers; one behind Haydon and on the extreme left holds up a notice: 'Chalk Drawings by Haydon['s] Pupils Landsers & Bewick--Private Day.' The other is a small boy (right), assailed by hissing geese, at whose feet is a paper: 'Catalogue Raisonny'. His placard is inscribed 'Exhibition of Drawings, by Haydons pupils Landseers and Bewick for the Cartoons and Elgin Marbles.' The street recedes in perspective to the gate of St. James's Palace. Outside the first-floor windows of the house of the Exhibition is a carved lion."--British Museum online catalogue
