- Abstract:
- At one end of a long table, a cleric with crossed eyes and mortar board drinks tea. He appears to be suspended in the air (the chair is not drawn) and leans with his elbow on the Morning Herald on the table. At the other end, a yawning academic in an unbuttoned coat under his robe, is doing up his stockings. His loose garter draws the attention of a playful cat while a dog watches him impatiently. Next to him on the table is an open volume of Euclid's Elements. The maid standing behind the table looks at the cleric on the left and pours hot water on the floor missing the teacup. Above the fireplace hang two muskets and three silhouette portraits of women. The bookshelves on the right display works of English authors and philosophers; on the left hangs a painting of a reposing nude and a satyr
