Captain Morris seated in a chair, on a dinner-table, singing a song. His back is to the spectator, his head turned in profile to the right. He holds up a steaming punch-bowl in his right hand, in his left hand he holds out his hat, leaning forward. He wears top-boots. A crowd of persons seated at the singer's left hand is indicated, among whom only Sheridan (?) and his neighbour, and Fox are characterized. On the wall is a lighted candle sconce.  Beneath the title is etched:
<p><br>'When the fancy stirring Bowl
<br>Wakes its World of pleasure,
<br>Glowing visions gild my Soul,
<br>And Life's an endless treasure.'
<br>(The opening lines of a 'Drinking Song' by Morris, 'Songs of Captain Morris complete', 13th ed., 1793, p. 1.) A bottle, glasses (one broken), and a pipe are on the table.  23 July 1790
