"A cavernously dark interior, despite a strong light from a wide doorway and open window in the wall which forms a background. Five Indian servants, of whom two may be women, are employed in various operations; three squat on the floor on mats or low stools, a fourth holding a slab or brick like that in No. 12164, rises in angry controversy with a seated man (left). Their dress ranges from a tunic and trousers with a turban to a loin-cloth. A steward or butler wearing a turban stands in the doorway, holding a bowl. On the right is a large stove on which pots of various sizes are cooking over five small charcoal fires on the surface of the stove. Above, in deep shadow, hang large hams."--British Museum online catalogue

"An Eurasian, Portuguese, or English lady, sallow, with black hair, sits on a stool in profile to the right in the centre of a bare room, attended by six Indian women. She dips both hands into a shallow open box held by a woman seated on the floor. Another stands beside her, watching. On the right an ayah nurses a doll-like infant. Another servant stands holding up a bell-shaped implement with a long handle. A fourth (left) sits full-face, apparently on a low stool, using a slab to pulverize something on a board; beside her are a small earthenware pot and a three-legged pot with a lid. A low oblong stool stands on the floor. Behind, a young Indian girl approaches from the left holding a jug and an oval tray or mirror. There is a large door or window (left) closed with persiennes; before this is a table on which are a closed oblong box and a (?) wine-bottle. Another large window-space is open to the sky. The Indians are almost black, except for the strong whites of their eyes, and wear coloured draperies. There are heavy shadows. Apparently a companion plate to No. 11165 by the same artist, probably an amateur. Cf. also No. 11832, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four elderly physicians fight wildly, flourishing their canes, in a room leading to that of the patient (right). One has fallen on his back, two others fight across him, each planting a foot on his chest; he clutches at the coat of one of these, shouting, "I say it is an exfoliation of the Glands, which has fallen on the membranous coats of the Intestines & must be thrown off by an Emetic." In his pocket is a letter: 'To Dr Emetic Upper B . . .' In the pocket of the man he clutches is a letter: 'To Dr Sudorific . . . sell. Squoe.' The latter answers the antagonist who has seized his neckcloth: "I say it is a pleurisie in the Thigh and must be Sweated away!" His adversary, 'Dr Drastic Cloacina Row', answers: "You are a blockhead! I say it is a nervous affection of the Cutis & the patient must immediately loose 18 ounces of blood and then take a powerfull Drastic." The fourth doctor (right) assails Drastic: "What are you quarrelling about! you are all wrong I say it is an inflamation on the os Sacrum, & therefore 14 blisters must be immediately applied to the part affected & the adjacents." His letter of identification is: 'To Dr Blister Cantheartic Pla . . .' Through the open door (right) the amused patient, in dressing-gown and night-cap, watches the fray from beside his bed, having just risen from a commode. He remarks: "I say Dame Nature has relieved me both of the Cause & Effects while these learned disputants are deciding the nature of my complaint-so I'll e'en be off to save both my money and my Life."--British Museum online catalogue
