- Item description: A version of A Mad Dog In A Dining-Room.
- Depition: In this case the dog has run between the legs of a man bringing in a dish of cutlets, which bestrew the carpet. His downfall has in turn overset another retainer, whose soup tureen has come to grief. The butler, more engaged in watching the calamities of his fellows, has allowed the "spruce beer" to escape in a shower of froth all over the place. The scene is well worked out. Over the door of the dining-room is a picture representing a party of corpulent friars seated round a refectory board. The faces of the party - it is a bachelor dinner in this instance - express more annoyance than alarm. They are dejected at the prospect of a curtailed repast.
- Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson 1809".
