A comic nighttime scene: a man in his night cap stands in the entrance of his front doorway holding a blunderbuss under his arm and a lit candlestick in his hand. He and his dog both show alarm at the sight of a horse tied to the knocker on the door. In the background (left), around the corner of the house the moonlight reveals two young men who watch in amusement, one laughing behind his hand. On the ground are clam shells. A lantern above the door provides further light on the subject
