- Depiction: A slipshop and tailorlike-looking old scarecrow, with spectacles on nose, and wearing a scarlet nightcap, is viewing with idiotic rapture the advent of a fat, inebriated, and dishevelled bacchante of mature charms, who, with a decanter in one hand and a glass in the other, is staggering into the chamber, to the amusement of a pretty servant-maid outside. The ancient dotard is making a parody on the quotation: "On she came - such as I saw her in my dream. Grease was in all her steps - Geneva in her hand, in every gesture reeling ripe for fun!"
- Inscribed in plate, lower margin: "On she came - such as I saw her in my dream Grace was in all her steps - heaven in her eye. In every gesture dignity and love".
- Numbered in plate, upper left: "149".
- Signed in plate, lower left: "Woodward del.".
- Signed in plate, lower right: "Rowlandson scul.".
