Pendant to above, and serial with it. A wooden legged and one eyed pensioner is giving a purse to a girl, while with the other hand he presses her breast. Signature as above, with omission of the street.Interior. A man and woman, seated on a chair, are playing the same harp together; she is seated on his lap, the lower part of her person entirely naked, two feathers in her head; they are copulating. To the left, behind a screen, sits an old woman asleep before the fire with a bottle and glass under her chair. To the right, a window with a small table and a chair before it. On the floor an open music-book. This is a pretty composition, ably drawn and finished; the tale is well told, and the figures display much life and movement". [45] The Sculptor [Preparations for the Academy, Old Joseph Nollekens and his Venus] (59.533.566)". Metropolitan Museum of Art. Interior. A girl, with her clothes rolled up round her middle, her breasts naked, and her legs thrown wide apart, reclines on an elegant couch; while six old men, whose heads only appear, stand at the foot of the couch, and examine her. To the right, on the floor, is a handsome vase filled with dildoes, and an open book lies beside the couch. Drawing good; the figures, particularly that of the man, possess much vigour. This and the design immediately before noticed form a pair." [139]

Interior. A girl, with her legs very wide apart, her pudendum thoroughly exposed and quite open, is sitting on a raised bank or bench, her right arm is bent over her head, and with her left hand, stretched out, she holds up her shift. Ten men, of whom the wig-covered heads only are visible, are gazing at her. The dancing girl is fairly drawn and finished, but the man dancing with her is faulty in outline and somewhat caricatured; the other figures are quite mediocre." [16] Baskett, John; Snelgrove, Dudley (1978). The Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson in the Paul Mellon Collection. New York: The Brandywine Press. The drawing is not very good, but the composition is pleasing; it forms a pendant to the subject immediately before noticed." [7]

Wark, Robert A. (1975). Drawings by Thomas Rowlandson in the Huntington Collection. San Marino, CA: Huntington Library. Interior. A man in hat and feather, with his posteriors and penis exposed, is kneeling on a bed and about to have connection with a girl seated on the same bed with shift, her only garment, up to her waist. Through the mantle-glass (left) the head of a man, apparently dressed like a pierrot, with horror depicted on his countenance, appears, and disturbs the amorous couple. There is a sofa to the left, and a guitar to the right of the composition. Four nymphs, in various attitudes, lie asleep under the shade of trees; three of them are entirely naked, the fourth has some drapery round her legs only. To the right, a couple of ugly dogs are keeping watch; to the left is a bugle horn. The pudendum of the nymph in the immediate foreground is defined. Ashbee quotes the opinion of a previous possessor of this drawing, who pronounced it to be "broad and forcible beyond description, and finer than Hogarth."
