"Pitt and Dundas are tipsily carousing at a rectangular table from which the cloth has been removed. Pitt, wearing spurred top-boots, sits on the corner of the table in profile to the left, his chair behind him at the head of the table. Dundas (left), wearing a plaid across his shoulders, sits full-face, turning his head in profile to the right, and waving a tobacco-pipe towards Pitt. They touch glasses, each holding his glass in the left hand; Pitt tries to fill them, but with the bottle reversed, spilling its contents. On the table is a decanter of 'Brandy', a bottle on its side, a clutter of empty bottles, glasses, Pitt's broken pipe, and a plate of food. In the foreground are bottles in a wine-cooler, and under the table is a chamber-pot on which is a figure of Britannia. Above the heads of the topers: '"Send us Victorious, "Happy and Glorious, "Long to Reign. - go it my Boy! "Billy my Boy, all my Joy, - God save the King!'"--British Museum online catalogue
