A social gathering, in which two elaborately dressed and coiffed old ladies stand conversing in the center foreground, as a short footman of unprepossessing appearance carries in a tray loaded with a tankard and a triple stand of jelly glasses. In the background groups of men converse. Behind them hangs a painting inscribed S.P.Q.L., depicting a man in a shirt between two lions who have seized him by the arms.
