Print shows a man, seated at a table, embracing and kissing a woman, around the table are seated three women, a fourth, carrying a tankard of beer, enters through a door on the right; on the table are bread and cheese, a visual reference to a quote by Jonathan Swift, "Bachelors fare; bread and cheese, and kisses." Two illustrations are on the wall in the background, one of a church, and the other of a swarm of bees around a hive.
