- Abstract
-
Three figures each with a characteristic beverage stand on a floor with wide boards. On the left a would-be dandy bends in profile to the right, pouring a bottle of (flat) spruce-beer into a tumbler. In the middle a very stout elderly and slightly tipsy 'cit', spectacles on his bottle-nose, holds a glass of port in one hand, and the bottle in the other. On the right a Frenchman (?), throwing his right leg forward with pointed toe and looking round for admiration, holds bottle in one hand, glass in the other; the cork flies up, and the champagne, curving upwards, cascades into the glass, splashing but not foaming
