Summary: 

Print shows a fashionable crowd playing cards at two tables. In the foreground, four people playing the game Pope-Joan. One of the women (sometimes identified as Lady Georgiana Gordon) is wearing a loose fitting semi-transparent dress with her breasts exposed. Behind her, peering down her dress, is a man who is about to cut off a candle due to his distracted state. Rear view of a fat woman dominates the left side of the picture.
