The interior of a ladies' cloak-room. Against the wall on two sides of the room is a bench forming a latrine on which four fashionably dressed ladies are seated. On the right a woman in profile to the right, resembling Lady Archer, applies paint to her cheeks before a mirror lit by two candles. A young woman seated beside her on the extreme right ties up her garter; this is inscribed 'on things (?) eternal'. She wears a large nosegay. All wear hats except one, whose hair is ornamented with feathers, &amp;c. On the ground are a glove, a nosegay, and papers inscribed 'Dr Leak' [maker of much-advertised pills], &amp;c.  The room is lit by single candles in sconces. 14 May 1788
