Three elderly citizens in a punt which is under trees and moored to a pole. A fourth man wearing trousers, who stands putting a worm on a hook, is probably the boatman. Two sit on chairs; one yawns violently, his rod leaning against his shoulder, another (right) with closed eyes holds his rod with the line festooned about it, its bait, a worm, dangles above the water and is about to be swallowed by a swan. The third stands (left), having removed his coat and wig which hang on the back of a chair. He has hooked a branch. In the background is a second punt, trees, and a house on the river bank. 1 May 1792
