Depiction: A corpulent gentleman, wearing a dressing-gown and nightcap, is yawning and stretching himself in his armchair. His huge head and gaping jaws would furnish forth excellently well a sign for the Bull and Mouth. By his side stands a handsome and highly developed lady, who is taking advantage of the sleepiness of her rude monster to slip a billet-doux into the hand of a military officer, who is waiting in the rear.
Signed in plate, lower left: "Woodward del.".
