Engraving (colour impression). Two designs on one plate. A fat woman sits in a nightgown, on the edge of a curtained bed, while her husband (right) yawns in an armchair, glass and decanter beside him. He has dropped a (broken) pipe and his book: 'Memoirs of an Amorous Fat Rump'd Old Tabby'. She watches him anxiously, holding out his nightshirt to the fire (left). An elderly maidservant leaves the room with a warming-pan and candle, looking over her shoulder much amused. One the chimney-piece by the bed are bottles labelled 'Restorative Drop and Corn Plais[ter]'. A cat and kitten sit by the fire. Partial description from the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. VIII.
