"A young couple sit side by side taking tea; the hostess, probably the mother of the young woman, is seated at a small rectangular table filling a tea-pot from an urn. A footman holds a salver to a man who helps himself to sugar, probably the father of the younger man. He sits on the right of his host, a gouty invalid in dressing-gown and nightcap, who is seated in an armchair on the extreme right. A dog sits beside the tea-table."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A wooded scene in the immediate suburbs of London, with St. Paul's in the background. Two 'cits' with guns prepare to fire, since their dog points at a bush, behind which, concealed from the sportsmen, squats a man excreting (left). A man holding a powder-flask watches with amusement from the top of a gate (right). Another dog sits in the foreground (right). Beneath the title is engraved: 'Against the Wind he takes his prudent way, While the strong Gale directs him to the prey; Now the warm scent assures the covey near, He treads with caution & he points with fear. Gay. -------------------------clausisque expectat ocellis; θυμπον---------------------------------------------'."--British Museum online catalogue
