- Abstract:
- A dinner party given by the rich and vulgar 'cit'. Liston, seated full-face, is beset by three children, one of whom shows him a print of Paul Pry. The hostess, laughing, points out the impassive Liston to a little boy who stands beside her. A fat nurse holds up an infant in long clothes to see the celebrity, at whom all the company are staring. A laughing footman drops a glass from a salver. Over the laden table hangs an elaborate cut-glass chandelier with many gas-globes. Liston, incensed at being expected to amuse his host's 'uncultivated cubs', retires, ostensibily to arrange his dress for a performance, actually to depart. See British Museum catalogue
