- Abstract:
- "A tall, stout fish-wife has seized a fashionably dressed man round the waist and lifted him up; his hat and tasselled cane have fallen to the ground. She is neatly dressed, with a flat hat tied over her cap, a checked apron, clocked stockings, and buckled shoes, but she wears a soldier's coat over her dress. There are three spectators: a woman (right) in profile to the left, gapes with astonishment; a neatly dressed man wearing an apron standing behind a fish-stall looks on with quiet amusement; an apple-woman sits (left) grinning, arms akimbo. Beside her is a large basket heaped with a pyramid of fruit. A fish-stall and a basket have been overturned (right) and the contents lie on the ground. In the background is Billingsgate Dock, with masts and rigging; on the right is one of the market buildings, inscribed 'BILLINGSGATE'."--British Museum online catalogue

A number of spectators stand round watching intently: of two behind the player, one resembles a footman. Two others stand behind the corner of the table, one wearing a hat like that of a coachman; two others stand on the right behind the table. They are probably all men-servants. The wall behind is papered or stencilled in a pattern of horizontal lines and spots.

- Abstract:
- "Design in a circle. A man and wife seated at a circular breakfast-table. The man, who is obese and a gourmand, sits in profile to the right. holding a bowl with a spoon in it in one hand, a bill of fare in the other inscribed "Soup . . . Turbot. Duck . . Lamb". He is wearing spectacles and a large piece of food projects from his mouth. The cook (right) is showing his master a dead duck, which he holds up in his right hand; in his left, and partly supported by his knee, is a tray on which are two lobsters and a turbot. The lady, who is also fat, holds up her hands in horror at the cook, who, from his leanness, his profile, and his bag-wig, solitaire, and ruffled shirt, is evidently a Frenchman. He wears a white cap and an apron, a large knife is thrust under his belt. On the left a footman enters carrying in each hand a plate piled with muffins. Tea-things are on the table. Under the table a small dog, befouling the floor, is partly visible. Behind is a screen of several leaves, on the top of which is a bird, resembling a large dove."--British Museum online catalogue
