Abstract:
Grey stands in the center pulling back a curtain on the large painting (right) addressing the three men (probably Peel, Cumberland, and Wellington) who look on in amazement. Grey says, "Gentlemen this is a fine color'd picture representing Futurity. The idea of which was concieved [sic] by an injured people and painted by a new and promising artist. Reform." Reading from the left Peel looks at himself in the painting seated in a chair at a loom, "Why if there a'nt me at a spinning Jenny." Cumberland, hat flying off, looking at himself depicted in the painting on his backside, "And me dying on a dunghill." And Wellington closest to the painting that depicts him as a wounded soldier holding a broom and begging with his cap in hand, observes "And me begging." In the painting is a tower with the British and French flags the former with the year 1814, referencing the Wellington's successful campaign to end the Peninsular War

The young couple are seen in a large, well-furnished room that is in a state of disorder after a night's entertainment; the Viscount is collapsed in a chair having just arrived, the clock showing 1:20 a.m. His sword lies at his feet, broken, and a bonnet hangs from his pocket, suggesting his infidelity; the lap dog sniffs at him suspiciously. The wife's evening's activities at home are suggested by the book "Hoyle on whist" open on the rug in the middle of the floor, a deck of cards on the floor below a card table in the next room, and in the foreground two violins, one with its case open, on the back of an overturned chair, suggesting the wife's own infidelity. The estate steward walks away in disgust at his apparent failure to engage either the husband or the wife in addressing the wad of bills that he has in his hands or the ledger under his arm; in his pocket he carries a pamphlet entitled "Regeneration." Through an archway, a dishevelled and sleepy servant scratches his cap; the walls are decorated with paintings of religious figures. The decor includes an elaborate ormulu clock, chinese porcelain and figures (including a Buddha), a bust of a Roman matron, old master paintings (one, evidently erotic, is screened by a curtain).
