An elderly man (left) in profile to the right sits in a high-backed wooden arm-chair asleep. Next him his wife sits asleep, her hands clasped, her left elbow supported on a table. At the table sits a boy asleep over a book. On the right, very upright on the edge of her chair, sits a middle-aged woman, wearing a low bodice, her hair dressed high. In the foreground a dog and cat are fighting. The room is lit by one guttering candle which stands on the table.
