The 'cit' gapes in apoplectic astonishment, still holding knife and fork on which food is speared; the edge of the table-cloth is tucked down his neck. His wig falls off. On the table is a bird; bread-basket and (broken) pitcher lie on the floor, salad-bowl and large cruet are falling. A dog barks. A terrified footman seizes his mistress's shoulders; his are grasped by a rough-looking maidservant. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
