"Three well-dressed men sit at a small rectangular table drinking, singing, and smiling. The visible part of the room is bare, but framed pictures and a wall-paper above a dado indicate that it is well furnished. Beneath the title two verses of a drinking-song are engraved, beginning: 'Glorious Apollo from on high beheld us.'"--British Museum online catalogue
