A debauch in a vaulted stone room. At the head of the table, erect and jaunty, sits a skeleton, Death; he ladles punch from a bowl into the glass of a gouty but jovial old man, who half reclines in an arm-chair, his foot on a stool. Three men, clutching glasses, lie on the ground 'in extremis'. Another leans on the table, vomiting; a seventh stands, drunk and spilling his punch, gazing at Death. A servant (left) enters from an archway with a brimming punch-bowl. The scene is brilliantly lit from a flaring hanging-lamp which casts deep shadows.  1 January 1829
