In a room, a small group of women and children watch as a man sitting at a round table builds a house of cards, which tumbles down as a figure leans in at the right; a man standing in outdoor clothes behind looks at him with dismay. On a chair on the right a lapdog jumps on the woman standing between the two young boys; in the left foreground two little girls build their own house on a small table; doors open onto garden in background; after a painting by Hayman for Vauxhall Gardens
