This colored print is an interior scene depicting three men and three women gathered around a table drinking and carousing. The table holds fruit, wine bottles and glasses. One woman is pouring a drink on the head of a man, another woman is seated together with a man with their arms around each other. As the subtitle explains, “He wasted his Substance with Riotous living.”
