Description | Artist's proof engraving on paper. Sir Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) stands whilst other Royal Academicians sit in various poses around a large rectangular banquet table. Four members are slumped on the floor in the foreground, one reaching for a bottle of spilling champagne. A policeman pokes his head through the door on the far left and a portrait of Mr Punch as a knight hangs in the centre of the room above Lord Leighton. |
