-
"Guests are grouped in a semicircle in a handsome reception room with an Adam frieze and Doric pilasters. A carpet has a bold circular design in the Aubusson manner. A two-beaked lamp of Roman pattern hangs from the roof. In the foreground a handsome young man bends to kiss a hideous and eager woman. The other guests are engaged in flirting, usually one woman with two men, or two women with one man."--British Museum online catalogue
