- Abstract
-
"Fox-hunters, tipsily hilarious, at the dinner-table, with bottles, glasses, and punch-bowl. One stands on a chair giving a toast (left), another straddles the backs of two chairs, as if riding; he shouts, flourishing a whip. They wear or wave hunting-caps and wear top-boots, except for one elderly man who turns from the table in disgust. Three dogs add to the noise. On the wall are antlers and a hunting-piece."--British Museum online catalogue
