Here are four different compositions on two plates; two only are free, viz., Luxury and Love. In the former a man and woman are sitting up in bed and drinking tea, which a servant girl is offering them; the woman's bosom is bare, and the man presses one of her breasts with his right hand, which is passed round her waist. In Love, a couple are embracing on a couch; the man seems very eager, and the woman quite indifferent. All four compositions are signed: Luxury and Misery simply "T. Rowlandson", while to the other two are added the dates, Harmony 1785, Love 1796. Smith, Bradley (1974). Erotic Art of the Masters: The 18th, 19th & 20th Centuries.

On the sea shore. Two couples are copulating in a boat, which is partly on shore and partly in the water; one of the girls, whose legs, hips, and breasts are bare, rests on the extreme edge of the boat, while the youth, who is enjoying her, appears to be pushing the boat off by the force he is using in having connection with her.
