A satire on pretensions to elegance showing a fine room in which a thin elderly dancing master teaches  a stout young woman to dance, while an older woman sitting behind  watches them.
<p><br>A man sits strumming a guitar to the left, books and sheets of music lie on the floor; a monkey plays with a fan; a little dog capers on its hind legs behind the dancing pair. On the wall behind are two pictures in ornate frames, one of a dancing couple and the other of a bear dancing with its keeper.  1 January 1768
