- Abstract:
- In an elegantly furnished sitting room, a man sits at a table in a dressing gown and night cap, his tongue hanging out of his mouth and his gouty leg resting on a foot stool as his pulse is taken by a physician (right). The physician looks at a pocket watch with a long chain; he also holds a walking stick in his right hand. The ill man is in the midst of putting together an elaborate dinner party. In addition to an inkstand with quill pens, on the table is a book, "Glasse's art of cookery" open to a recipe on how "to dress a turtle". On the table is an envelope addressed "To Ald. Guttle, London" and one to "Sr. A. Pepperpor" and a letter inviting the Alderman to dine. Another document contains the "bill of fare" which lists turtle soup, venison, chickens, hams, pheasents, etc. At his feet a dog scratches as a cat approaches. On the left a pretty, much young woman leans agains a chair as she watches the scene. The room is decorated with a map of the West Indies over the elegant mantelpiece on which sit a statute of a goat and two candlesticks whose bases are obese figures sitting cross-legged. Two other portraits on either side of the fireplace: on the left a cupid-like figure holding two strings to which are attached two doves; on the right, a portrait of a corpulent man in a wig
