"Evening, or the Man of feeling." Description Three men sit by a dinner-table. The man on the right has his boots pulled off by a boy. The man makes an impatient impression and pushes his other booted foot against the boy's back; on the floor are a pair of slippers, and a boot-jack. It looks as if the other two men had long been waiting for the just arrived companion, who has obviously cold feet, because a maid with a candle in hand brings him a warming pan.

Description

Three men sit by a dinner-table. The man on the right has his boots pulled off by a boy. The man makes an impatient impression and pushes his other booted foot against the boy's back; on the floor are a pair of slippers, and a boot-jack. It looks as if the other two men had long been waiting for the just arrived companion, who has obviously cold feet, because a maid with a candle in hand brings him a warming pan.
