"A fat man (left) seated in an arm-chair, his swathed left leg supported on a stool, his crutches and an open 'Treatise on Gout' beside him. A meretricious-looking young woman bends over him, putting her right hand on his right shoulder and holding his left hand. A young woman of disreputable appearance pours out wine for him. A footman in livery (right) is about to put a large tureen on a dinner-table (right). A fat man is seen through an open door. A dog and cat lie together in the foreground.
