Description: John Sedley is seated at a table at the Tapioca Coffee-house, slouching over with his elbows resting on the table and his scowling face between his fists. On the table in front of him are several pieces of paper and an inkwell with a quill. The door to the room is held open by a bored-looking man who leans against it. Through the doorway, William Dobbin can be seen talking to the woman at the desk. Below the illustration is printed in cursive its title, Mr. Sedley at the Coffee-House.
