- Abstract
-
"A long narrow Assembly Room. Three couples, stiff and grotesque, face each other in the foreground; behind, three other couples dance holding both hands. The musicians (right) are a black man playing tambourine and fife, and an old fiddler. A fat man stands by the door (right) holding his wig and scratching his head. Next him, a very fat woman sits drinking from a punch-bowl which a man helps her to support. Above their heads is a placard headed: 'Ball - Suppe[r] ...'. Hats and scarves hang from a row of pegs."--British Museum online catalogue
