Abstract: "A fat parson (left), burlesqued, sits in an arm-chair in profile to the right, left hand extended, addressing a naked and thin old man who sits grimly on a stool, hands on knees. They face each other in profile. The parson is drink-blotched, a full glass is in his right hand, on the table is a bottle of 'Port', he raises both feet from the ground. Care has a long beard, unkempt hair, and glares fiercely at the parson"--British Museum online catalogue
