Description: Four artists watch Rebecca Sharp performing a caricature with her two dolls, Miss Pinkerton and Miss Jemmy. Rebecca is seated upon a large cushion and leaning back against a table upon which there is a statue. One of the artists is seated backwards on a chair next to her with another standing behind him; the other two stand across from her, one leaning on a table with a bottle upon it, the other beneath a bust on the wall.
