-
Two men and three women sit around a long trestle table in an alcove along the gallery of the Pantheon while a child plays hobby horse with a tasselled cane. One of the women tries to turn her companion's head towards her but he instead looks at the child by his knee and points to the other side of the table where the other man is offering a cup of tea to one of the two young women next to him. A tea service is displayed on the table. In the background other visitors look around from their alcoves
