Abstract:
The English sportsman sits in a chair with his feet supported on a stool, gun in hand. He wears a hat with an enormous brim. A negro servant stands behind him (right) holding up an umbrella and a branch to beat off flies. A negro boy approaches his master, who grins delightedly, with a huge goblet on a salver. Below the design: "Make haste with the Sangaree, Quashie, and tell Quaco to drive the Birds up to me, I'm ready". Under a palm-tree (left) is a table covered with food: a shoulder of mutton (?), fish, a sucking-pig, a round of bee(?). On the ground are many bottles, some on their sides, a basket of pineapples and limes (or lemons), and a row of large jars: 'Royal Punch 5 gal:', 'Sangaree 5 Gal:', 'Brandy', 'Rum' [on its side], 'Sangrorum 10 Gal' [extra-large and close to the sportsman]; also a much smaller jar of 'Water' [broken], and a number of empty bottles. In the middle distance a negro runs, driving birds towards the sportsman. Near him in the middle distance, a second sportsman reclines on a settee; a negress holds an umbrella over his head. The scene is a flat sunny plain, with distant hills. From British Museum online catalogue
