"Heading to a printed song. Three fashionably dressed men sit at a round table under a mulberry-tree, over wine, pipes, and mulberries. One sings the song (as printed), glass in hand and pointing up to the tree. On the ground is a lighted lantern. In the background a park slopes upwards towards a country house."--British Museum online catalogue
