Abstract:

"A man enters a room where three men and two ladies stand at a dinner-table, waiting for him, all frankly amused at his appearance. He wears a great-coat many sizes too large and knee-breeches which hang to the ankle. His large obese host laughs, holding his sides. A grinning and loutish footman holds the chair which he is to take; another servant, also grinning, enters behind the unfortunate guest. Whole length portraits fill the spaces between pseudo-Gothic windows."--British Museum online catalogue.
