Description
A seated couple and a visitor. On the left a man in a red jacket, breeches and red slippers and wig sits with his legs crossed and a newspaper on his lap. To his right his wife sits on another chair, she wears a white dress and a mobcap which covers much of her face. She rests her chin on her left hand. On the far right, standing on front of the door, a man in a bag-wig, blue coat, holding a cane and three-cornered hat holds up his left hand in surprise. A dog stands in the doorway, and another is seated by the chair on the left.
