- Abstract
-
A young barmaid wearing a frilly dormeuse cap and a neckerchief with a breast knot, attends to a group of male customers gathered around the bar. An elderly military officer wearing a saber leans on the bar spooning custard from a glass, while three young men on his left ogle the barmaid. Two other men occupy the right side of the bar, and two dogs the center foreground, a poodle jumping up at the bar, and a pug urinating on a copy of "The Gazette extraordinary" which lies on the floor. Other newspapers are in the hands of the customers, the "Ledger" and the "Morning post". Bottles, glasses and bowls are arranged on shelves behind the girl
