Three men in a tavern with three pictures on the wall with images of pugilists, a portrait of Buckhorse and two images of fights. The one man has his head on the table, presumably passed out and asleep. The other man sits in a chair looking out at the viewer, a club in his hand and a dog at his feet. The third man stands behind him, his fists postitioned ready for a bout, although he holds a smoking pipe in his left hand. On the mantel are glasses and flasks of liquor

Abstract:
"A fat lady, much décolletée, whose hair is blazing, in her frantic gestures has overturned a chair; tea- and coffee-things lie on the ground. Screaming servants rush in from the right, headed by two footmen; one holds up a table-cloth to fling over her head, but is hampered by his companion, a negro, who flings the liquid contents of a (?) large flowerpot in her face, but stands on the cloth. A fat cook follows; a pretty young woman kneels on the ground throwing up her arms, a dog howls. Four older servants look through the doorway. Two candles, the cause of the disaster, blaze on the chimneypiece where a clock shows that it is 2.25."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

He says: "Do you see Doctor my Dame and I become [sic] to ax your advice--we both of us eat well, and drink well, and sleep well--yet still we be somehow queerish". The doctor, holding his cane to his nose, answers: "You eat well--you drink well and you sleep well--very good-- You was perfectly right in coming to me, for depend upon it I will give you something that shall do away all these things".
