- Depiction: The preparations of the cook in question are not calculated to increase the appetite of the observant epicure. The chef is hideous, old, rheumy, solvenly, and diseased. He is kneading the paste with his objectionable hands, his snuffbox is on the board by his side, while a blowsy and uncombed slattern is reaching down a pie-dish, in which the rats have been reveling. The bold depredators are scampering off no farther than the next dish.
- Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson del.".
