A rare, large-scale, caricature depicting three drunken male students passed out around a table on which sits a punch bowl, a bottle, a wine glass. On the right two older men stand near the open door looking on in disgust. Pictures of a suggestive nature are on the walls, a statue of a naked woman on the mantelpiece, along with hunting boots and hat, a violin and hunting prints on the wall point to the men's pursuit of pleasure. On the floor a tub of wine bottles, with further empty bottle strewn next to it along with an open book, a discarded mortar board, and a sleeping dog. Grego II 407
