Abstract

"A hand-coloured print of two men in a well appointed room, closely examining a menu or a bill. A pot bellied cook stands and watches the epicures with satisfaction, a knife hanging from his waist. On the right, a maid and a young boy bring in a platter with two fish which a cat pays close attention to. The maid's face has been drawn with precision and is the least caricatured of the group."--Royal Collection Trust online catalogue
