A young, richly dressed and very tipsy youth staggers towards the viewer over the top of a hill. His wig is flying off; his neckwear is disarranged. In the crook of his right arm he carries a straw-covered wine bottle and a half full wine glass in his right hand. His tricorne hat flies off to his left. In the background, at the base of the hilll, is a town. Just below the top of the hill, to the right of image, appears a woman supporting a very sick drinker. To the left, in the background, is a tavern with a table set out on the lawn. Four drinkers, in various stages of drunkenness, sit around the table. In upper left corner, above the tavern, is engraved a screen with three staffs of music
