A Two O'Clock Ordinary — Thomas Rowlandson

A group of men sit around a table and gorge themselves on feast, some fighting the others for food. A man seated at the head of the table at left lifts a large goblet to his mouth. Two men, apparently late to the feast, enter through the door at left with shocked expressions.
