"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

Sir Thomas Rumbold is depicted vomiting his ill-gotten wealth into a chamber pot decorated with a thistle. Kneeling beside it and embracing the chamber pot is Henry Dundas, Lord Advocate of Scotland who oversaw the prosecution of Rumbold in 1782-3. Rumbold's ankles are chained to two weights signed "Sureties," a reference to restriction on his leaving the country before the case was dropped in 1783. He is supported by his son, Captain Rumbold of 1st Life Guards, dressed in his regimentals and wearing a gorget. Behind them, an Englishman gallops on an elephant saddled with an enormous bag signed "Roupees." An Indian sitting behind him is holding a tall parasol above his head
