Guests at dinner around a long table in an ornate room. Two men and a woman serve wine, one of them men pulling a cork and the other two spilling the wine. Another waiter spills soup on the head of a guest, wile a woman and child play a tambour and triangle as their dog begs for food. Bottles of various kinds of wine are seen on the floor in the lower right.
