The figure at the centre, with his back to the viewer, has been identified as Burdett (Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet, 1770-1844). A fourth figure seated at a table and holding up a newspaper at the far left, in an aside to the viewer (printed speech in a bubble above): 'That is one of S-ft-n's / peculiar hits! agad! I'll / send it as a hint to HB'. The artist's initials in monogram at lower left: 'HB'. Title printed below the border: 'CONVERSATION AT WHITES.'.
