In this image Mrs. Abington embodies Thalia (one of the nine Greek Muses), she is the Muse of music, dance, comedy and idyllic poetry, and we see her here with the face mask of comedy in her right hand as she places a crown of laurels on the head of a bust of Shakespeare.
The bust of Shakespeare also wrapped in laurel leaves and is placed on a short column pedestal, that itself in placed on a larger marble pedestal in what appears to be a garden in front of a tree.
Mrs. Abington is wearing a two piece flowing gown that is wrapped around her with flowers in her hair, ankle wrapped sandals, a pearl necklace, bracelet and other jewelry; while at her feet lie a cane and tambourine.
Finally in the background we can see a mountain range, forest that line the coast, and different plants and flowers.
