[Gambling house scene in Leicesterfields] [graphic].

After William Hogarth's plate 6 from A rake's progress, depicts the interior of a gambling house (Leicester Fields) where groups of men play cards and roll dice, large piles of coins at their sides. The losers are shown in various stages of despair, their wigs tossed on the ground alongside their losing hands. The windows are shuttered and the room lit with candles in wall sconces and in candlesticks on the table. On the right one man is being restrained by his friends as he tries to attack the winner of the stacks in their game. On the left a young man sits at a table signing over his plate and jewelry as an angry man stands over him
