Four elderly men peer pruriently at a picture on an easel (right) of a reclining Venus. One sits, 'chapeau-bras', in an arm-chair, looking through a lorgnette, the others, behind, crane eagerly forward. Other pictures of similar subjects (one of Susannah and the Elders) are on the wall, one is on the ground behind the easel; all are heavily framed. All the men wear old-fashioned dress. 20 June 1799
