Preparation for visits on New Year's Day, c.1813-c.1815. An overweight man sits on a chair and puts on his boots. Behind him is a servant who brushes his blue jacket. The cat plays with his wig, which lies on the floor. In front of the mirror a young woman is lacing up her underdress; a pink dress hangs over the chair. A second woman holds a muff. There are a harlequin doll and different toys on the floor.
