The attention to detail is remarkable as we observe the beautifully crafted chest of drawers and boudoir surrounding the central piece - a unique toilet chair or closestool. This innovative contraption was considered a convenience for those seeking comfort and privacy while using it. Gillray's artistic style shines through this etching, showcasing his mastery in capturing both realism and satire. Through subtle caricature, he humorously highlights society's fascination with modern amenities such as indoor plumbing. The watercolor technique employed adds depth and vibrancy to every element within the composition, making it visually striking even after all these years.
