Members of the Society of Artists congregated round a table. Etching by R. Sawyer, 1829.

A landscape painting and two statues are on the wall in the background. The people may be 'Rosacoronians', members of the Rose and Crown Club, an artists' society in London founded in 1704. The artists identified on the tablet (rightly or wrongly) are 1. John Michael Rysbrack, sculptor, 2. (Grinling?) Gibbons, sculptor, 3. Marcellus Laroon, painter and print-designer, 4. William Kent, architect and painter, 5. Gawen Hamilton, painter, 6. Michael Dahl, portrait painter, 7. John Vanderbanck, painter, and 8. Charles Bridgeman, landscape architect. Not the Society of Artists of Great Britain, which existed 1761-1791, i.e. after several of the artists depicted here had died
