- Abstract
-
"A dinner-table scene. A man (left) falls on his back and on his broken chair. The other diners, four men and three ladies, rise, all registering concern, except for an old woman who grins. A footman laughs and drops a wine-glass from a salver, and is kicked behind by one of the diners. A servant entering with a tureen pours its contents over the fallen man. The room or hall is an exaggerated example of neo-Gothic: walls, alcoves, and door being covered with carvings."--British Museum online catalogue
