One of Wlliam Hogarth's Pictures' Description

This picture takes place in a palace’s saloon whose walls are painted griffles and gypseries. The palace seems to belong to the period of 1600s and 1700s when the painting was drawn because there are also war pictures which is the symbol of victories on the walls. There is also a fireplace and a sculpture sited on the fireplace. This is an important detail because I can understand that sculpture is not prohibited in that period, that is, people are free to indicate their considerations without the pressure of church. The ceiling of the saloon has curvings and ornaments which make saloon more imposing. There is also a huge luster hanging from the ceiling. In addition to that, twenty four people take place in this picture. All these people are wearing elegant and elaborete dresses. There are small groups talking with each others. All these people seem to wait for a person’s coming such as the King of their country. There are also  two impalas standing in front of the people. I can say that animals are protected and they have a value even among the elegant people. As a conclusion, I can say that this is the picture of pleasure, luxury and joy during the 1600s and 1700s.
