after 1803 · Hand-colored etching · Drawings and Prints

Men play billiards with a thin elderly man wearing spectacles preparing to knock an opponen'ts ball off the table. A brown-coated man stands at left and shakes his fist in anger. Below the table, two dogs face off, their forms resembling their owners. Five other men and a boy watch the scene and the wall behind is decorated with prints.
