| dc.description | Overall view without frame; This boisterous family is making a lot of noise: the father sings at the top of his lungs while raising a glass; the mother and grandmother chime in; and the children are either blowing into a wind instrument or smoking a long pipe. The note hanging from the mantelpiece gives away the moral of the story: "As the old sing, so shall the young twitter." What will become of the children if their parents set the wrong example?
