The interior of a large Gothic church. In the pulpit (left) is a skeleton, wearing a surplice, his skull in profile to the right, left hand raised admonishingly to an inattentive congregation, unaware of his identity. Behind him an hour-glass stands on a bracket. In the foreground, near the pulpit, men and women sit or stand intent on their own concerns. Two stout men sleep with their backs to the pulpit; two boys play at their feet. Three men, one a cripple, pay court to three young women. A fashionably dressed man with a pistol in his pocket listens to the preacher. In the background is a sea of heads. Against the west wall is an organ; on the wall are the royal arms and a row of fire-buckets. No title.  1 October 1783 [According to George ? c. 1786]
