- "Pitt and Dundas are tipsily carousing at a rectangular table from which the cloth has been removed. Pitt, wearing spurred top-boots, sits on the corner of the table in profile to the left, his chair behind him at the head of the table. Dundas (left), wearing a plaid across his shoulders, sits full-face, turning his head in profile to the right, and waving a tobacco-pipe towards Pitt. They touch glasses, each holding his glass in the left hand; Pitt tries to fill them, but with the bottle reversed, spilling its contents. On the table is a decanter of 'Brandy', a bottle on its side, a clutter of empty bottles, glasses, Pitt's broken pipe, and a plate of food. In the foreground are bottles in a wine-cooler, and under the table is a chamber-pot on which is a figure of Britannia. Above the heads of the topers: '"Send us Victorious, "Happy and Glorious, "Long to Reign. - go it my Boy! "Billy my Boy, all my Joy, - God save the King!'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A drunken orgy by the members of a convivial club, grouped round an oblong table in a dignified room, which suggests a fashionable society. The chairman (left) with raised hammer gives a toast which is drunk sitting. Most are jovial, three are vomiting, one over a prostrate member. An elderly man protests angrily; his neighbour tries to make him sit down. The room is lit by a chandelier hanging from an ornate ceiling. A servant draws a cork, another enters with a punchbowl from behind a screen (right). Bottles stand in a magnificent wine-cooler, round which empty bottles are massed. The members' hats are piled on an ornate chimney-piece; a Jew reaches over a low screen to take a hat, unaware hat a member has risen to denounce him. This screen is in front of a 'Ballotin Box', with two round apertures inscribed 'Nay' and 'yea'. On the wall (left) is a placard: 'Rules to be observed in this Society, Ist That each Member shall fill a half pint Bumper to the first Toast. 2nd That after Twenty four Bumper toasts are gone round, every [sic] may fill as he pleases. 3 That any Member refusing to comply with the above Regulations to be fine a bumper of Salt & Water'."--British Museum online catalogue
