An elderly fright stands in the centre, between a thin (left) and a fat (right) dandy, one proffering a large goblet on a salver, the other a plate of patties, one of which is stuffed into his grinning mouth. She eagerly turns to the left with an ogling grin. On the left a footman spills a tray of goblets and ices over an elderiy lady seated on a chair which tilts backward. He has been knocked off his balance by the bow of the thin dandy. On the right a dandy seated by a fat ugly lady offers her a goblet. Her short skirt displays fat shapeless legs, defined by cross-gartering. All are much décolletée. A dandy drinks, while admiring himself in a mirror. A candle-sconce hangs between two oval mirrors, but in an adjacent room seen through an archway is a hanging chandelier with chimneys which probably indicate gas. Violinist, 'cellist, &c., play in a musicians' gallery in the background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue

- "One of a set (coloured) by Williams, all with the same imprint (Nos. 12933-6). An imitation of No. 12927; the falling man lies on the ground, his foot (without a spur) gashes a lady's dress from waist to hem; the lady whom he clutches falls forward, kicking a man behind her. All the figures are altered in pose and character and two have been added. The two musicians are on a cloth-covered table, the violinist stands instead of sitting. In the centre of the back wall between two heavily draped windows is a large mirror above a console table with a jar of flowers. The round chandelier is decorated with dragons emitting flames of gas. There is a rolled up carpet (right) showing that the dancing is impromptu."--British Museum online catalogue
