Satirical engraving by William Hogarth (1697-1764).
One of the 8 plates of Industry and Indleness.
This plate shows the opulence that industry has produced (or rather, allowed to be procured): the couple sit at the far end of the table (Just to the left of the man in the foreground with the staff) on chairs, apparently in state. His chair has the sword of state on its right arm and on her left the crowned mace.
A significant portion of this plate is taken up with a related satire of gluttony, which takes place in the left foreground. In particular, the two on the far right warn that even earned riches are as susceptible to squander and waste as any other.
To the upper left, an orchestra on a balcony provides musical accompaniment.
