The Merry Family
A table where everyone has a glass.
What
A family sings, smokes and drinks around the table while the youngest children copy every gesture.
Why
Steen pinned the moral to the wall: a sheet over the mantel spells out the proverb that the young pipe as the old sing.
Notice
The note pinned over the mantelpiece.
“A family portrait with the cellar door left open.”
