"A toilet scene. The Regent stands in profile to the right at his dressing-table, rouging his cheek with a small brush. An attendant, resembling McMahon, laces the stays which in front resemble a waistcoat; he tugs at the lace, standing on a low stool, using one foot as a fulcrum against his master's posterior (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8287), a small buffer ornamented with goats' heads being attached to this foot. On the oval mirror which reflects the Prince's face sits a monkey, holding on its head a wig with a pyramid of curls above the forehead with large side-whiskers attached. The Prince's hair is similarly arranged. The Prince's tail-coat, in back view, is spreadeagled on a stand. On an ornate wall-bracket inscribed 'Bills' and 'Recetts' are two ornamental files, one filled with bills: 'hatters Bill', 'Poulterers Bill', 'Fishmongers B', 'Hair Dresser', 'Taylors Bill', 'Butchers Bill', 'Docters Bill', 'Silve smiths Bill'; the other empty. A bracket-clock, surmounted by a figure of Time shearing a triple ostrich plume, points to two o'clock (reversed). A round wall-mirror and candle-sconce is surmounted by a figure of Bacchus bestriding a cask. On the dressing-table are pots and jars of 'Tooth Powder', 'Rouge', 'Otto of Roses', and 'Secilian Wash for the Skin'. On the floor is a book, 'The Stripes Poem', which a small dog shaved like a poodle is befouling."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a neat parlour or music room, with open square piano and lyre-back chairs. A middle-aged termagant, coquettishly dressed, has overturned her chair and stands with raised fist, shrieking at a very young man in riding-dress. He sits (left) with hat and riding-switch beside him, bewildered and passive; his dog takes cover under his chair, looking sideways at an aggressive cat which arches its back against its mistress. A cockatoo screams from its perch. On the piano, which is inscribed Row Maker, is an open music-book: Blow High. Blow Low; on the floor is a book open at Wake to Ecstacy the living Lyre. Behind the woman's head is a convex wall-mirror, topped by a carved eagle which looks fiercely down. This is flanked by two sea-scapes: Calm (left), ships becalmed, and Storm (right), a ship struck by lightning and about to be submerged in towering waves."--British Museum catalogue

"A man and woman sit facing each other beside the counter, which stretches across the design; he holds a jelly-glass and puts a spoonful to her mouth; she sits with open mouth and folded arms, a closed fan in one hand. A third customer leans on the counter, holding a jelly-glass and admiring through a lorgnette his own reflection in a mirror; this is the centre of the wall behind the counter, dividing two sets of shelves on which are neatly ranged canisters, glasses, packets, &c. A shop-girl (right) also gazes at the pair. All are fashionably dressed."--British Museum online catalogue

A view of the interior of a busy French barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (right) as another child plays at her feet. Beside her another woman holds up a mirror so that an officer can admire his reflection from both the front and back. A third woman (left) cuts an officers toe nails as a barber dresses his long queue; another officer has his hair powdered. In the background a man in his night shirt sits on the side of his bed as he stretches his arms and yawns
