Abstract: "An elderly man and wife sit close together at a meagrely spread dinner-table. With hands folded, he bends his head in melancholy resentment, while his wife hectors, with right fist clenched, the left forefinger raised in admonition. He wears neat old-fashioned dress, she is a bare-bosomed trollope. On the table are only a tankard (by the woman), a fragment of loaf, one chop with knife and fork. Dark smoke is indicated as a background."--British Museum online catalogue.
