Everyone Was Speaking

Sara Troost, 1771

In this third scene, the gentlemen have loosened up. A heated debate is raging about the orbits of the planets, for which a celestial globe and a chart of the solar system have been produced. That the situation threatens to become rowdy can be seen from the guest emptying his bladder in the corner of the room and the gentleman flirting with the maidservant.
