A young man is seated at a dressing table; a small amount of lather is on his face and he is shaving using a cut throat razor. He wears a tight pair of light blue trousers, pink slippers, a white shirt and a pair of pink braces. His servant stands behind him, holding a pair of stays. On the dressing table in front of the dandy is a shaving bowl, a linen cloth underneath; a shaving brush, a large jug, a bottle labelled of 'Curling Fluid' and various other labelled containers for 'Palm Soap', 'Windsor Soap' and a bottle labelled 'Renova Tor'. Beside the dressing table is a shoe rack, with two pairs of shoes; underneath this a pair of boots is hanging up while underneath them, lying discarded on the carpet are a pair of riding boots. Also on the carpet is a scroll of paper that has written on it "Fancy Ball"; underneath this lies a letter with the words "Miss Stephens" visible on it. Adjacent to this a volume containing a music score lies open on the floor, with the title "Quadrille Dances" visible, and across this lies a flute. An open trunk with a white linen shirt hanging over the edge of the trunk, a pair of black boots and a boot jack are positioned nearby. On the table next to the dandy's servant, lies a pair of spurs. On the wall behind is a framed contemporaneous satirical print entitled "A Pair of Lancers", while above this is a small shelf of books - one has the spine title 'Ovid', alongside this is a copy of "Fany [sic, Fanny] Hill", others have the spine titles "Cupid" and "Monk" while underneath this is a book entitled "Kiss of Secund". A trunk of linen lies open on the floor in the background.
