A dinner of mostly elderly men has dissolved into a brawl with wigs flying in every direction as they pummel each other with their fists or any tool at hand. In the center a man crawls on his hands and knees, blood pouring from both nostrils, his opponent ready to land him another blow. The one young man of the party dances merrily on top of the table flourishing a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other as the dinnerware scatters in every direction

Abstract:
"An aged surgeon leans over a bag of instruments on a table (right), selecting a knife; he wears an old-fashioned wig, hat, coat, &c. A pretty girl seizes him by the arm; she shouts at him, pointing behind her to his subject, a young man lying on a trestle-table, fully dressed and apparently in perfect health, who has just wakened, horrified. In an open cupboard stands a skeleton (left). On the wall is a notice: 'A Course of Anatomical Lectures accompanied with Dissections will be delivered tommorrow Even[ing] by Professer Sawbone.' [An early use of the word 'Sawbone'. Partridge gives the date as from c. 1835, citing Sam Weller in 'Pickwick' (1837).] Two lighted candles stand on the table. On the lintel of the door is a bust of (?) Hippocrates frowning down at the scene."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A man and woman sleep in a rough wooden bed, heads thrown back so that their nostrils face the spectator. Bare feet projecting from the bed-clothes attract a rat. A cat lies on a chair in the disordered room. An antique musket and broadsword hang horizontally above the bed, on a wall from which much plaster has fallen. A makeshift curtain hangs across a casement window (left). On a chair by the bed (right) is a punch-bowl. On the wall is a placard: 'Hush every Breese let nothing move My Celia sleeps and dreams of Love'."--British Museum online catalogue
