- Abstract
-
In an almost empty kitchen one of two fireplaces is not in use and holds a vase of flowers. Above it hangs a ham, a fish and a fish head, and a flitch of bacon. In the foreground, an elegant gentleman, Lord Talbot, appointed Steward of the Household in March 1761, reproves the cook, saying "Why such waste." With his right hand he is pointing to a man kneeling before him, a small emaciated dog beside him. The obese cook replies, "I must quit the service." Behind him, a servant sits at a large empty table, head in hand, saying, "Times are altered." Another servant behind the cook turns to leave the room, saying, "I shall have an to mysel." Under the table lie two large, empty baskets
