Description: | Domestic interior with sleeping man in a chair to the right, teased by a serving woman standing to left who leans towards him with her right arm outstretched, holding something up to his face. There is a table behind him to the right on which sits a stoneware jug, and beyond which crouches a child about to blow a bugle in the sleeping man's ear. A small dog lies sleeping in bottom left corner, beside a broken clay pipe by the cavalier's foot, and there is an upholstered stool behind. A shadowy background, with staircase to the left beyond which can be seen brightly lit hallway. Serving woman carrying a jug up the stairs looks back over her shoulder toward the sleeping figure.
