The image is a detailed engraving depicting a historical scene inside a room that appears to be a court or a place of judgement. There are several figures wearing period clothing consistent with the attire of the late 17th to early 18th centuries, such as long coats, waistcoats, breeches, stockings, and heeled shoes. They are engaged in various activities: some are conversing, while others look towards a seated figure who is slouched and resting his head in his hand, exuding a sense of distress or worry. One person stands holding a book, possibly indicating a clerk or someone reading charges or a statement.

To the right, another person sits at a desk littered with papers, a quill in hand, suggesting that he may be taking notes or transcribing the proceedings. The setting includes tall windows with draped curtains, a chandelier overhead, swords and other elements on the walls which convey a formal environment, and a carved wooden bench which reinforces the seriousness of the context. The floor is not visible, adding focus to the figures and their activities.

The image features captions with elaborate script beneath the illustration, referencing "Plate 10," along with two quotations from the Bible - "Eccles. IX VER.16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard." and "Actus Ch.VX VER.5 And a certain man named Ananias with Sapphira his wife sold a possession," which might suggest the theme or moral message of the scene. It also references "The Industrious 'Prentice Alderman of London" and "The Idle one brought before him Impeach'd by his Accomplice," which implies a narrative about hard work and sloth, and perhaps legal consequences associated with these traits.
