- Abstract
-
"Sportsmen in a bare breakfast parlour, with a small round table on which are tea-pot and cups, a loaf, and a wine-bottle. A stout man (left) sits beside the table, holding a wine-glass, his right hand on a dog's head; a boy kneels at his feet fastening on spurs; a yawning valet dresses his hair. He talks to a man standing on the extreme left, holding his hat and whip. Another man, a whip under his arm, stands at the table cutting a piece of bread. A short man sits with his back to the table examining the lock of his gun. Two men enter from the right, yawning violently. A pair of coupled dogs (right) prance in their eagerness to start. On the wall and hanging from the ceiling are antlers, a bird in a cage, a (?) saddle, a game-bag, a pair of pistols, a hat and whip, a fowling-piece."--British Museum online catalogue
