"Interior scene in a tavern, at left a woman rasies a large tankard to her lips, the man sitting near her with his hand around her waist, another customer sitting beside them encourages her to take a drink, a cigar(?) in his hand, behind a woman bends down to tend to the fire, across the room at right a patron sits reading from a newspaper, a smartly dressed man with a lantern(?) in hand standing beside him, another in labourers clothes leans on the back of his chair at right; after a drawing by Henry William Bunbury."--British Museum online catalogue
