The Tea Table (BM 1868,0808.3445 1), Satire on gossipping women; five fashionable ladies drink tea at a table placed on a carpet in an affluent interrior. On the table, as well as the tea service, are a closed fan, a muff and an open book lettered, "Chit Chat". A devil lurks beneath the table and Envy drives Justice and Truth out of a door at upper left; two gentlemen eavesdrop at an open window on the right. On the back wall, left to right: an alcove with shelves displaying porcelain, a fireplace above which is a painting showing a monk carrying a woman on his back towards a church or monastery, and a mirror in an elaborate frame. Three columns of etched verse describe the slanderous conversation taking place.
